Acron
Acron, the son of Xenon, was born at Agrigentum; and opened, in company with Empedocles, a medical and philosophical school at Athens. During the plague, described by Thucydides, he recommended, says Plutarch (De Isid ii) the practice of fumigations to cure the infection supposed to be in the air.
