Framed Print of Hippocratic Medicine, Four Humors, Phlegmatic
Phlegmatic. A bare-breasted young woman, with an owl perched on her shouder, is sitting on a ram's back at water's edge, the waves crashing about her. She holds a short staff and a ladle. Humorism was a belief that an excess or deficiency of any of four distinct bodily fluids known as humors in a person directly influences their temperament and health. From Hippocrates onward, the humoral theory was adopted by Greek, Roman and Persian physicians, and became the most commonly held view of the human body among European physicians until the advent of modern medical research in the nineteenth century. The four humors of Hippocratic medicine are black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood, and each corresponds to one of the traditional four temperaments. Four temperaments is a belief that there are four fundamental personality types, sanguine (pleasure-seeking and sociable), choleric (ambitious and leader-like), melancholic (analytical and literal), and phlegmatic (relaxed and thoughtful). Engraving by Virgilius Solis, the Elder, 16th century. This image has been color-enhanced. © Science Source
