Athryilatus

{{short description|Greek physician}} '''Athryilatus''' ({{langx|grc|Αθρυίλατος}}; 1st – 2nd century AD) was a Greek physician from Thasos, Macedonia. According to Plutarch's ''Symposiacs'', he proposed two original theories: "Women endure cold better than men, they are not so sensible of the sharpness of the weather, and are contented with a few clothes" and wine ("an excellent refreshing remedy") induces cooling, sweating and sleep.<ref>Kakavoulis. p. 15</ref>
