ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Anthimus (physician)

Anthimus was a really smart person a long time ago who knew a lot about keeping people healthy. He was what people called a physician, which means he knew a lot about how our bodies work and what we should do to stay healthy. Think of him as a doctor, like the ones you go to when you're sick or need a check-up.

Anthimus was extra special because he lived a really long time ago, when people didn't know as much about how our bodies work. He wrote down all his knowledge about how we can eat healthy foods and what foods we should avoid. You might have heard that some foods are good for you and some aren't so good, right? Well, Anthimus knew all about that!

He also knew a lot about how our bodies work when we're sick or feel funny. So he would help people feel better by giving them medicine, like cough syrup or pills. He even had some tricks up his sleeve to make someone feel better if they had a tummy ache or a headache.

Overall, Anthimus was a really smart doctor who helped people stay healthy and feel better when they weren't feeling so great.
