Antigen (anatomist)

Antigenes was a in the 2nd half of the 3rd century BC. Living Greek doctor .

Antigenes was a student of Cleophantos . Since it is known that Mnemon , one of his classmates, during the reign of the Egyptian king Ptolemy III. Euergetes (246–222 BC) worked, Antigenes must have lived around the same time. He wrote a work on fever and tumors that is quoted by Caelius Aurelianus . It is probably identical with the antigen mentioned by Galen together with Praxagoras, Erasistratos and others who lived around the same time. Accordingly, he was primarily famous as an anatomist .
