What did Athens experience under Pericles' guidance?
It established an empire. This led to an expansion of building, learning and prosperity. However to finance it , Athens had to tax the cities it dominated, and keep a war fleet to extort these taxes. This military power led to the city becoming over-ambitious, and Pericles' pushed the limits so far thet Athens became involved in the devastating Peloponnesian War, which it lost and so lost its empire. Pericles died of plague early in the war, so we don't know if he could have successfully guided them through the war which he had brought on.
How is the Black Death explained now?
The Black Death was long thought by scholars to have been an especially devastating outbreak of the bubonic plague, caused by bacteria of the species Yersinia pestis. Recent DNA analysis shows that this is, in fact, correct.As to why the outbreak was so deadly, it is not known. There have been a lot of suggestions, but proof is elusive. It may be that there were an unusually large number of rats and other rodents, and their fleas, all of which are carriers of the plague. That, of course begs the question of why there were so many.There were a large number of later outbreaks of the bubonic plague, but it is similarly not known why they were nowhere near as devastating.
Two reasons why many bodies of plague victims were not buried when the plague was at its worst in England?

The Peloponesian War was a long war between Sparta and Athens, two separate city states in Greece. Athen was strategically building an empire in the northern half of Greece, as well as on many Greek islands.

When was Athens in power?
Athens was technically a democracy so the people held power. But women had very little power so they had no vote therefore no influence. Generally Athens would have one main citizen who would drive his policies, working as a dictator but the people always had the power to take him out of power or exile him. An example of this is Pericle who was this main citizen, was taken out of power and then brought back into power later when everyone was scared about the plague and the invading Spartan forces. He was then later exiled to Persia.
Which is worse the plague or bubonic plague?
