The Plague in John VI Cantacuzenus and Thucydides	1976	11	.pdf	application/pdf	4699	243	62	There is no doubt that Cantacuzenus is describing an epidemic of bubonic plague. Neither classicists nor medical historians have reached agree­ ment concerning the nature of the Athenian disease, but modern research has definitely eliminated bubonic plague as a possible agent in the destruction of 430 B.C.6 Rather the Thucydidean epidemic seems to have been a viral infection such as smallpox.	cache/grbs-7991.pdf	txt/grbs-7991.txt
