Hippocrates put forward the theory of the four humors. According to the theory, the human body is made up of four substances: black bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm. A healthy human body is the product of a balance of among the four humors, while diseases results if there is an imbalance among the four humors.

Galen, a keen admirer of Hippocrates' ideas, further elaborated on this theory and believed that they affected personalities, moods, behaviors, and emotions.

The personalities assigned the four humors are as follows:

People with predominantly black bile are Melancholic (corresponding to the season of autumn dry and cold): They are very sensitive, and enjoy artistic pursuits.
