In the Iliad, Homer speaks of wildfires in ancient Greece, as well, allowing us to presume that the Mediterranean climate in itself was then, as it is now, conducive to wildfires. “And as when consuming fire falls upon thick woodlands and the witching wind beareth it everywhither and the thickets fall utterly as they are assailed by the onrush at the fire,” he wrote.

The historian, Thucydides, also describes a wildfire that took place during the third year of the Peloponnesian War (429 BC).

While the Plataeans were besieged by the Spartans, an unusual storm followed a large blaze that the Spartans had started around the city. Thucydides wrote:

And a conflagration arose greater than any one had ever seen up to that time, kindled, I mean, by the hand of man; for in times past in the mountains when dry branches have been rubbed against each other a forest has caught fire spontaneously therefrom and produced a conflagration.

Fires had shaped the landscape in ancient Greece, set mostly by invaders in pre-classical times, but also by Greeks themselves.

Homer could have stopped the traffic with his mates two and a half thousand years ago, selfish bastard ;)
