The ancient Greek medico-philosophical school of the island of Rhodes was lost in the fog of history. However, the discovery of a stone column dedicated to Pheidias unveiled somehow some parts of its tale. The Island of Rhodes became in the 4th century BC a place of significant process in philosophy and medicine. Having both an Asclepieion and a Medical School with a rich library, the Rhodian Asclepiades transmitted their knowledge to future schools. Pheidias Apollonius was a member of the School of Rhodes, who was celebrated for his practise by the city-state of Athens. His magnitude testified in a way the supremacy of the school that he originated from.
罗德岛的古希腊医学哲学流派已消失在历史的迷雾之中。然而,一座献给菲迪亚斯的石柱的发现,不知何故揭开了其故事的某些部分。罗德岛在公元前4世纪成为哲学和医学领域重要发展的地方。罗德岛既有一座阿斯克勒庇俄斯神庙,又有一所拥有丰富藏书的医学院,罗德岛的阿斯克勒庇俄斯学派将他们的知识传授给了后世的学派。菲迪亚斯·阿波罗尼奥斯是罗德岛学派的成员,他因行医而受到雅典城邦的赞誉。他的影响力在某种程度上证明了他所出身学派的卓越地位。
