To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thucydides was him- self a sufferer from the disease, and gives in his history a very careful account of the scourge. The plague is thought to have originated in Egypt ; to have spread from there over the Persian empire, and finally to have entered Athens through the Peiraeus, whither it probably was brought by ships coming from infected ports. From the historian's description of the symptoms shown by the victims of the disorder, it is believed that the disease was a malignant form of typhoid f...ever. So frightful was the mortality stone which surmounts the grave of her brave sons." As to the possible connection of this relief with the funeral oration of Pericles, Dr. Waldstein says : " Though I do not mean to say that the inscription which it surmounted referred immediately to those who had fallen in the campaign of 431 B.C., I still feel that the most perfect counterpart in literature is the famous funeral oration of Pericles as recorded by Thucydides." See his interesting article entitled " Funeral Orations in Stone and Wood," Harper's Magazine^ June, 1892.
