The experience of warfare shaped soldiers and their families in the
ancient world. Drawing partly on modern studies of battle
'syndromes' this collection of essays examines this important
phenomenon. Contributions include: Warrior Mentality in Homer (Hans
van Wees); Hoplite Warfare in Ancient Greece (Stephen Mitchell);
Homosexuality and Warfare in Ancient Greece (Daniel Ogden); The
Moulding of Macedon's Army (Alan Lloyd); Morale and the Roman
Experience of Battle (A.D.Lee); The Roman Army and Morality in War
(Catherine Gilliver); and, Battle in Ancient Egypt: the Triumph of
Horus or the Cutting Edge of the Temple Economy (Ian Shaw).
This book contains eleven papers on aspects of Greek religion from
Minoans to the classical world. Striking similarities are revealed
between religious ideas in Greece and non-Greek Asia. There are
special studies of Apollo, Athena, and Dionysiac religion and new
patterns are identified in the archaic and classical thought of
Heraclitus, Herodotus and Sophocles. The contributors are: Bernard
Dietrich, Walter Burkert, Catherine Osborne, J. K. Davies, Michael
Clarke, A. C. Villing, Thomas Harrison, Seth L. Schein, Richard
Seaford, Susan Deacy and Anne-France Morand.
