Description

The ancient Greeks were a highly educated, literary and artistic people. They were also extremely warlike, living and fighting not only in Greece but in Cyprus, South Italy, Sicily and the vast areas conquered by Alexander the Great. In this breathtaking book, Tim Everson uses detailed research to explore the military might of the Greeks – from the naked fighting hoplites to the use of elephants as battle cavalry.

Ranging from c.1550 to 150 BC, Warfare in Ancient Greece encompasses the broad range of weapons, armour, helmets and chariots used and developed by the Greeks over the centuries. Everson uses archaeological evidence and literary information provided by Homer, Herodotus and Thucydides to explore many fascinating elements, including:

  • The rise and wane of the chariot

  • Agamemnon’s scale corset

  • The introduction of chain mail

  • The military tactics of the hoplite, or heavy infantryman

Well researched yet accessibly written, Warfare of Ancient Greece will appeal to anyone interested in ancient and classical history.
