Definición

  • Mental illness—or madness—has been prominent in Western literature since the classical Greek era, when madness usually arose from divine action, a pattern that originates in Greek myth. In medieval and Renaissance literature, madness was informed by Claudius Galen's theory of humors in the 2nd century. [Source: Cultural Sociology of Mental Illness: An A-to-Z Guide; Fiction]
