Encounters with the Plague in Homer, Sophocles, and Thucydides explores three of the earliest, and most influential, accounts of plague visitations in Western literature: Homer's Iliad book 1 (1-487), Sophocles' Oedipus the King (esp. 1-215), and Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War book 2 (esp. 47.3-54).
