<b>Abstract: </b>It seems remarkable to us, today, that ancient physicians appear not to have recognized that many--or even some--diseases are contagious. That being said, there is an undercurrent of popular sentiment detectable in ancient non-medical literature
that does seem to make the connection. This paper will explore that undercurrent, teasing out the mechanisms proposed for contagion (or written between the lines) to ask whether we can, and ultimately whether we should, then turn our attention back to speculate
on why ancient physicians disregarded contagion.<br>
