Cranial trauma was one of the most frequent pathological events in Ancient Greece, occurring mainly during athletic games or on the battlefield. In his epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, Homer described 41 injuries of the head, face, and cervical spine.1 Here, we report one of the most famous cranial injuries due to an unusual accident: the head trauma that allegedly killed Aeschylus.
