-- The Greek historian Thucydides describes the unknown plague that struck Athens in 430 B.C.E.: “Bodies of dying men lay one upon another, and half-dead people rolled about in the street and, in their longing for water, near all the fountains. The temples, too, in which they had quartered [housed] themselves were full of the corpses of them who had died in them; for the calamity [tragedy] which weighed upon them was so overpowering that men, not knowing what was to become of them, became careless of all law, sacred as well as profane [not religious]. And the customs which they had hitherto observed regarding burial were all thrown into confusion, and they buried their dead each one as he could.” - Thucydides, A History of the Peloponnesian War
