(Source: Index) Read the article on Archaeology Daily. Note: This is the first time I've heard that Pericles died of typhoid fever. He died in the 'plague' (an unidentified disease according to my course books and the lectures I've heard) that swept through Athens during the Peloponnesian War, killing many. The Archaeology Daily article mentions that it was identified as typhoid in 2006. Apparently my A275 coursebook (The World of Athens) and A219 coursebook (The Oxford Companion to Classical Civilisation) are 4 years behind!
