«Helen King’s engaging examination of web-based appropriations of Hippocrates is especially salient reading during the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated lock-downs.»

Bryn Mawr Classical Review

«Do you want to invoke Hayek or Marcuse? King leaves you to make your own choice. Don’t prickle. Enjoy it!»

International Journal of the Classical Tradition

«A welcome and sorely needed antidote to the confusion generated by the reception of Hippocrates and the Hippocratic corpus in popular culture ... Hippocrates Now comes as a gift to all of us who are on the front lines of history instruction in 2022, and it represents the best of what classical reception work has to offer contemporary conversations.”»

The Classical Review

«Leaves the reader both alarmed and amused (in equal measure) by the credulity and the duplicity of the surfing public ... Thoroughly and meticulously researched.»

Classics for All

«This examination of the idea, or ideas, of Hippocrates in the contemporary world is both necessary and timely … A thought-provoking work of classical reception that will be of considerable interest to medical historians both with and without the discipline of Classics.»

Social History of Medicine

«As illuminating as it is entertaining.»

Medical Humanities

«Make no mistake, this is a scholarly work, up to [King’s] usual high standards and with the sorts of original research and novel insights we expect, but it’s a little playful too.»
