Скачать или смотреть A Civilization Collapsed From Within | Plague of Athens

Athens did not collapse because its walls were breached.
Its fleet still controlled the sea.
Its armies were still fighting.
What failed first was something less visible.
During the height of the Peloponnesian War, a mysterious disease spread through a crowded and confident city. It did not only take lives — it eroded trust, shattered social order, and stripped authority from leaders who once seemed untouchable.
This episode explores how the Plague of Athens became more than a medical disaster. It exposed the fragility of civilization itself, showing how fear can dissolve laws, traditions, and belief faster than any enemy force.
This is not a story about symptoms or cures.
It is a story about what happens when a society loses faith in its rules — and how a great civilization can break from within.
