- This person is not to be confused with the historian Praxagoras of Athens
Praxagoras (Ancient Greek: Πραξαγόρας ὁ Κῷος) was an influential figure of medicine in ancient Greece. He was born on the Greek island of Kos in about 340 BC. Both his father, Nicarchus, and his grandfather were physicians. Very little is known of Praxagoras' personal life, and none of his writings have survived.
