Praxilla was a Greek healer who resided in the Green Mountains region of Cyrenaica during the 1st century BCE. She devoted her life to healing the poor in her father Theramenes' makeshift clinic in Balagrae. During the mid-1st century BCE, Praxilla served as a healer in the Green Mountains region, providing aid to the residents in the area, including the Siwan farmers who worked in the farmlands, befriending them in the process. Praxilla, along with Greek magistrate Diocles and Roman architect Vitruvius, would later form Cyrene's Triumvirate, as each helped to usher in peace to the colony.
