Bodies of dying men lay one upon another and half-dead people rolled about in the streets and, in their longing for water, near all the fountains. The temples, too, in which they had quartered themselves were full of the corpses of those who had died in them; for the calamity which weighed upon them was so overpowering that men, not knowing what was to become of them, became careless of all law. . . .” —Thucydides, as quoted in Eyewitness to History Why did new arrivals to Athens live in huts? a.
