Eryximachus
5th-century BC Athenian physician · Doctors · Born 448 BC
Eryximachus, son of Acumenus was an ancient Athenian physician who is best remembered for his prominent role in Plato's Symposium. It is likely that he was indicted in the mutilation of the herms, a domestic Athenian conflict during the Peloponnesian War.
Eryximachus is read about 12 times a day, in 9 languages.

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
