In 430 BCE, a mysterious illness swept through the crowded walls of Athens, killing Pericles and reshaping the Peloponnesian War. This episode explores the Great Plague’s devastating impact on Athenian society, religion, and democracy. We examine Thucydides’ clinical yet harrowing account of symptoms, the breakdown of social norms, and how the epidemic weakened Athens just as it needed strength most. Alongside the plague, we look at the political vacuum left by Pericles’ death and the rise of demagogues like Cleon. Discover how fear, superstition, and mortality altered the course of Greek history, turning a golden age into a tragedy. Join Lucas and Luna as they trace the footsteps of those who survived—and didn’t—through one of antiquity’s darkest periods. #GreatPlagueOfAthens #Thucydides #Pericles #PeloponnesianWar #AncientAthens #GreekHistory #Cleon #AthenianDemocracy #Pausanias #BlackDeathAntiquity #MedicalHistory #ClassicalGreece #WarAndDisease #SocialCollapse #ReligiousCrises #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #AncientMedicine Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
