👉 Sceuophorion is a term used in medicine and in ancient Greek mythology to describe the condition of being sick. It's often associated with the belief that diseases are caused by the soul or spirit, which is believed to be corrupted or contaminated. Sceuophorion can also refer to the disease itself, such as scurvy (which is a common form of vitamin deficiency in children) or septicemia (an infection caused by bacteria).
