title: [Voice pathology in the history of medicine].
abstract: This article, which will be followed by others dealing with the same subject, is mainly concerned with the outstanding figures of Ippocrathes of Cos and Galenus as far as voice treatment in Greek medicine and under the Roman Empire is concerned. But apart from them, many writers and scientists such as Homer, Democritus, Plato, Celsius Scribonius Largus, not to mention Plinius, Discorides and Martialis dealt with this topic. In addition, the article will briefly deal with the ancient Egyptian medicine as well as with the Indian one.
