	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Blam. Even classical Athens had only 10,000 people," said R K Mohanty... Yow. That's way off. Athens at its classical peak ("age" of Pericles) -- the extension of its walls to encompass the Piraeus -- was far bigger than this. The final number left alive after the defeat of Athens' expedition to Syracuse (in Sicily) during the Peloponnesian War was 40,000 (and I've seen even higher figures), which included "non-combatants" as well as non-Athenian allies. Still, it's obvious that the figure is wrong. The death toll of the epidemic (typhus?) which swept through the greater walled Athens during that war claimed at least 10,000.
