In alarm at this, he despatched Thessalus, the tragic actor, into Caria, to dispose Pixodorus to slight Arrhidaeus, both illegitimate and a fool, and rather to accept of himself for his son-in-law.
Thessalus was most favoured by Alexander, though it did not appear till Athenodorus was declared victor by the plurality of votes.
However, when he understood Athenodorus was fined by the Athenians for being absent at the festivals of Bacchus, though he refused his request that he would write a letter in his behalf, he gave him a sufficient sum to satisfy the penalty.

The "old Methodists," as Caelius Aurelianus called them, remain rather shadowy figures -- Themison of Laodicea, said by Pliny the Elder to be Asclepiades' auditor (NH 29.6), and the flamboyant Thessalus of Tralles (Galen quotes from the letter he wrote to Nero to accompany the treatise he was dedicating to the emperor, MM I 2.1).
Medical studies flourished in Alexandria long after the death of Herophilus' patron Ptolemy II Philadelphus, and the city remained the center of anatomical studies for centuries after wealth and political power shifted to Rome -- for the time being the preeminent city in which Greek doctors achieved fame and fortune.

The Pelasgians migrated to Athens, and a warlike youth named Thessalus, of the race of the Thesprotians, with a great force of his fellow-countrymen took armed possession of that region, which, after his name, is now called Thessaly.
This is a common practice, but especially among the tragic poets, for whom less allowance should be made; for the poets do not speak in person, but entirely through mouths of characters who lived in the time referred to.
But if anyone insists that the people were named Thessalians from Thessalus the son of Hercules, he will have to explain why this people never adopted the name until the time of this second Thessalus.

These things in themselves are pleasing and good, singular ornaments, necessary, comely, and fit to be had; but when we fix an immoderate eye, and dote on them over much, this pleasure may turn to pain, bring much sorrow and discontent unto us, work our final overthrow, and cause melancholy in the end.

It has never been claimed that Hippocrates invented the practice of "medicine", but, either by accident or because of his fame in his own times, works ascribed to him were saved when others before or after him were lost.
His immediate Roman followers, not surprisingly, were called "Hippocratici", but their other common name was more illustrative of their medical philosophy: they were called "dogmatici" or dogmatics, because they didn't question the medical dogmas which were handed down through their founders Thessalus, the son, and Polybus, the son-in-law of Hippocrates (about 400 BC).
In the 2nd century, BC a rival school, called the "impirici" arose, and they claimed that their knowledge was derived only from experience.

So Alexander sent Thessalus, an actor, to the satrap with instructions to disparage Arrhidaeus and to offer a marriage with Alexander instead.

Philip had Thessalus sent to him in chains, and he banished some of Alexander's companions who had talked Alexander into this.

Alexandre, troublé par ces soupçons, envoie en Carie le comédien Thessalus, pour représenter au satrape de laisser là ce fils bâtard, qui, outre le défaut de sa naissance, avait l'esprit aliéné, et de rechercher plutôt l'alliance d'Alexandre.
Il écrivit aux Corinthiens de lui renvoyer Thessalus chargé de chaînes, et bannit de la Macédoine quatre des amis de son fils, Harpalus, Néarque, Phrygius et Ptolémée, qui, rappelés dans la suite par Alexandre, furent comblés d'honneurs.
Alexandre favorisait Thessalus, mais il ne montra son intérêt pour lui qu'après qu'Athénodore eut été proclamé vainqueur; le roi dit, en sortant du théâtre, qu'il approuvait le jugement, mais qu'il aurait donné avec plaisir la moitié de son royaume pour ne pas voir Thessalus vaincu.
