The Plague of Athens, written by Thomas Hobbes in 1667, is a historical account detailing the devastating plague that struck Athens during the second year of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C.). Drawing from Thucydides' original Greek account, Hobbes chronicles the chaos and suffering experienced by the Athenians as the disease ravaged their city. This work is notable for its early exploration of medical history and the societal impacts of disease, reflecting on the human condition in times of crisis.
