man I wish could copy and paste screen shots into this space, but basically it's about plague metaphor in roman literature (pestilence and the body politic in latin literature, hunter h. gardner), the connection between plague and warfare (florence under siege: surviving plague in an early modern city, john henderson) alcibiades' role in the peloponnesian war (donald kagan's writings, the plague of war, jennifer tolbert roberts), and also an iliad-plague connection courtesy of the achilles-alcibiades parallel (alcibiades' entry on the political stage at athens II, edmund f. bloedow, and the role of the plague in the iliad, daniel r. blickman)
