Language and its associated disorders have puzzled humanity since the dawn of civilization. The first descriptions of aphasia go back to classical antiquity. The Egyptians and Babylonians believed speech was a divine gift to mortals, and their descriptions of aphasia attributed these events to their Gods’ anger and disfavour. The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus and the Hippocratic Corpus report several aphasia cases, relating this phenomenology to apoplexy, epilepsy, and other illnesses.
