Acknowledging that Homer is a poet, not a staff instructor,
Albracht works carefully through the Homeric text to produce a
persuasive picture of the workings of battle in the Iliad, in two
parts: in Part I the council of war, marshalling of the troops, the
use of chariots, the advance into battle, the standing fight, the
massed attack and defence, retreat, flight and pursuit; in Part II
protection in the field, attack and defence of a fortified camp,
and the siege and defence of a fortified city. Throughout, he
offers the reader fascinating explanations of the details of the
battle narrative.
