Hi folks! I thought this sub may enjoy this. This is a podcast I've created where I attempt to review the historiography, scholarly literature, and other material in an attempt to retrodiagnose what exactly happened during an ancient plague or mysterious historical death.

This first episode is specifically about the Plague of Athens that struck during the first stages of the Peloponnesian War, and examines the account of the Ancient Greek general Thucydides, along with the proposed candidates for the plague throughout history, and the impact that it had on Ancient Greek society.
