were treated and medicine dispensed. There is even a mention of
surgery; presumably the ?rst caesarian section in the history of
medicine is performed for the birth of mythological Persian hero,
Rostam. This study looks at mythology, ancient Persian religious
texts and historical books to discuss the practice of medicine in
ancient Iran.
