Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ancient Greece was relatively disease-free because of its climate and also the isolated nature of city-states; but the more the cities became involved in trade, the more susceptible to epidemics they were. The best example of this was the plague that struck Athens in 430 and 429 B.C.E. during the Peloponnesian War.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the same time, the plague brought benefits as well: modern labor movements, improvements in medicine and a new approach to life. Indeed, much of the Italian Renaissance-even Shakespeare’s drama to some extent-is an aftershock of the Black Death.
