Hello everyone!
As I've been easing out of grief for my late brother and back into writing, I finally decided to utilize an idea which was inspired by an earlier WI thread regarding the creation of an Athenian Empire. I began to ponder on the possibilities, and utilized two POD's to de-rail the disasterous Peloponnesian War before the cost became too disasterous for Classical Greece to recover in any meaningful way. The first evokes the second.
First: A baby boy is born in Athens in 485 BC which died in birth in our timeline.
Second: Actions of that boy cause The Persians to accidentally pirate a trade ship filled with plague rats which would have otherwise (as in OTL) have infected Athens.
Please enjoy this timeline (and my others ) and I hope that this is a long and fruitful scenario.
