As a Jew myself, I had heard (not knowing for sure if it’s factual) that Jews who ate Kosher food did not get the Bubonic plague. Presumably, this was due to the fact that pork carried the virus of this particular plague. It also might have accounted for the fact that non-Jews were suspicious of why the Jews were not as affected.
This map of Ancient Greek colonies shows Greek colonies and the climatic regions of the region. Note how most colonies remained tied to the seas and had a similar climate
Hope this helps :)
