Description
The 5th annual conference investigated the death of Pericles during the Spartan siege of Athens. Included are a medical history and description of the illness that took his life in 429 B.C. Additionally, a link to further information about the “Plague of Athens” which reportedly killed 25% of the Athenian population within a two year period, appears at the end. Dr. Durack’s diagnosis is that Pericles succumbed to louse-borne typhus.
