Mantias, ( Greek: Μαντίας; 3rd century BC) a Greek physician who was the tutor of Heraclides of Tarentum, [1] and one of the followers of Herophilus; [2] and who lived therefore most probably in the 3rd century BC. Galen says that he was no ordinary physician, [3] and that he was the first who wrote a regular work on pharmacy. [4] His works on the subject, which are several times quoted by Galen, are lost, but the titles of some of them have been preserved. [5]
