Eponyms are commonly used in medicine; some of them derive from the name of literary characters or make reference to classical myths. In this article, we underline some eponyms obtained from literature and review the characteristics of the literary characters, the circumstances that led to their creation, and the physicians who coined and adapted them to the field of medicine. A literary eponym offers a cultural and humanist perspective to our daily practice and is part of the history of medicine.
