Plague


Thucydides, in his description of the plague of Athens of B.C.430:  “Yet it was with those who had recovered from the disease that the sick and the dying found most compassion. These knew what it was from experience, and had now no fear for themselves; for the same man was never attacked twice – never at least fatally.”
