[ES] Este artículo examina algunos pasajes de los escritos más antiguos del Corpus Hippocraticum en los que se señala el gran valor que para el médico griego de la polis de los ss.V/IV a.C. tenía la consecución de un prestigio. En ese período la medicina está haciéndose un lugar propio entre las diferentes téchnai y la labor del médico es, entre otras cosas, el llamar la atención sobre los diferentes logros de su ciencia y conseguir por ello una justa fama. En este siglo V a.C. están emergiendo una serie de profesiones y los practicantes de éstas formulaban reglas válidas para la investigación y la práctica dentro de sus respectivos campos de conocimiento. Los autores del CH reflejan la lucha que debieron mantener en varios frentes para mantener su Arte lejos de la magia, la filosofía, la ignorancia, la pedantería, etc. Para ellos la búsqueda de un prestigio personal estuvo ligada a la defensa del valor de su téchne, con vistas a poner la medicina en el mismo nivel que estaban ya otras Artes.
[EN] This paper focuses on a few passages of some of the oldest writings in the Hippocratic Corpus in order to emphasize the importance given by Greek physicians in the Greek polis of the 5th and 4th centuries B.C. to the prosecution of prestige. At that period medicine was struggling for a place among téchnai, which was not a simple task. Arts were rising and professionals formulated rules valid for practice and research in their fields of knowledge. The Hippocratic authors show how they had to fight at many fronts: magic, philosophy, ignorants physicians, pedantry, etc. For them the search of personal prestige was always linked with the defense of the value of the téchne itself; critics to fake physicians and to the bad manners of some practitioners were intended to make the difference and put the art of medicine at the same level as other téchnai.
