Indeed, I'd translate "fléau" (pronounced flé-O, always stressed at the last vowel) as plague. It can be used for a disease or for anything negative (as the swarm of locusts in the Exodus of the Bible). But there's no closer word to translate "Bane" (to my knowledge).

My situation is a bit complicated, it's going to take a while to find it in Greek... Please be patient. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
