Did Galen really meet Hippocrates?

by jlenders

And a few other questions (assuming they met):

  • What kind of relationship did they have?
  • Did Hippocrates and Galen become associates in anyway?
  • Did Hippocrates teach Galen a lot?
  • Did Galen become as successful as he did, because of Hippocates?

I don't think you mean the most famous Hippocrates, because he died some 570 years before Galen. But there were other people named Hippocrates, I believe, so maybe you are thinking of someone besides the famous physician. What did you hear?
