At last we have a book-length treatment of the Hippocratic Oath written by an ethicist who knows ancient Greek! Cavanaugh has made a major contribution, reading the text closely, and situating it in the context of Hellenic oath-taking practices, drama, poetry, philosophy, and mythology as well as medical history. The result is a really fresh look that allows the Oath to speak to us clearly in our own times. I recommend it highly to anyone interested in medical ethics or the history of medical ethics. * Daniel P. Sulmasy, Andre Hellegers Professor of Biomedical Ethics, Georgetown University *
