ABSTRACT
Epilepsy is a common condition. Based on its frequency,
it is difficult that this illness would spare important figures
in human history. Herein it is presented some
moments of the life of five historical figures that lived
with epilepsy: Alexander The Great, Julius Caesar,
Napoleon, Peter The Great and Lenin. Their lives
marked the human history, but epilepsy first marked
them.
