The fall of Athens

News in Science - Typhoid brought down Ancient Greeks - 24/01/2006

We know that the Athenians suffered greatly and from all sorts of disease especially during the war with Sparta.

Now DNA studies have helped to add more information to the fall of Athens. From research it seems that typhoid fever was the cause of the plague that brought about such incredible death and suffering.
