| has gloss | eng: The Plague of Athens was a devastating epidemic which hit the city-state of Athens in ancient Greece during the second year of the Peloponnesian War (430 BC), when an Athenian victory still seemed within reach. It is believed to have entered Athens through Piraeus, the city's port and sole source of food and supplies. The city-state of Sparta, and much of the eastern Mediterranean, was also struck by the disease. The plague returned twice more, in 429 BC and in the winter of 427/6 BC. |

| has gloss | deu: Bei der Attischen Seuche handelt es sich um eine Epidemie, die in den Jahren 430–426 v. Chr. in Athen wütete und über deren Verlauf – zusammen mit den Ereignissen des Peloponnesischen Krieges – der griechische Historiker Thukydides genaue Aufzeichnungen führte. Sie wird deshalb auch als Seuche oder „Pest“ des Thukydides, im englischen Sprachraum als The Plague of Athens, The epidemic of Athens oder auch Thucydides Syndrome bezeichnet. |

| has gloss | fra: La peste dAthènes est le nom traditionnel sous lequel est désignée une épidémie ayant touché par vagues la Grèce antique de -430 à -426 av. J.-C. Elle a été notamment rapportée par Thucydide dans son Histoire de la guerre du Péloponnèse et a causé plusieurs dizaines de milliers de morts, dont celle de Périclès qui marque la fin dun époque privilégiée. Aujourdhui la communauté médicale considère que cest le typhus qui est le responsable le plus probable de cette épidémie qui tua peut-être un tiers de la population de la cité. |

| has gloss | hbs: Atenska kuga je naziv za epidemiju zarazne bolesti koja je godine 430. pne. pogodila starogrčki polis Atenu. Historičari procjenjuju da od bolesti umrla oko trećina stanovnika grada, a među žrtvama je bio i veliki atenski državnik Periklo. Jedan od Atenjana koji je obolio, ali se kasnije oporavio, bio je i Tukidid, koji je u Historiji Peloponeskog rata ostavio detaljan opis bolesti i njenih posljedica na atensko društvo. Atensku kugu dio historičara smatra završetkom tzv. Zlatnog doba Atene, odnosno razlogom zašto je Atena izgubila peloponeski rat i prestala biti dominantnom silom među grčkim polisima. |
