About this listen

Barnaby Ellison Thatch investigates history's greatest cold case: what killed Alexander the Great in 323 BCE? Was it typhoid, malaria, poison, or Guillain-Barré syndrome? Examining twelve days of fever, paralysis, and political intrigue in Babylon, we explore medical evidence, ancient texts, and the haunting possibility Alexander lay conscious but immobile for six days after being declared dead.
