Ancient Prosthetics and Early Creative Genius Across History
The article notes a Bronze Age artificial leg in the Royal College of Surgeons Museum and famous devices like the Iron Hand of Gotz von Berlichingen. It contrasts early substitutes in Greek Roman times with later stories of youth in art, music, and literature, citing Milton and Hugo as examples of prodigious talent from childhood.
