Understanding Greek Warfare offers a wide-ranging survey of Greek
warfare, from the Mycenaeans through to the Hellenistic kingdoms'
clashes with Rome. Each chapter provides an overview of a
particular theme and historical period, and a detailed discussion
of the relevant sources, both ancient and modern. This volume
covers not only the development of equipment, tactics, strategy,
and the major wars of Greek history - the "drums and trumpets" - it
also examines the political, social, and cultural importance of
warfare in each period. Each chapter outlines major scholarly
debates, such as the true nature of hoplite battle and whether
Alexander the Great had a strategic vision beyond conquest, and
includes several short selections from the primary literary
evidence. Readable yet scholarly, this book is an ideal companion
to courses on Greek warfare and society, and offers detailed
suggestions for further reading and research. Understanding Greek
Warfare will be a crucial resource for students of war in the
ancient Greek world, and of the ancient Greeks in general.
