Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"Warfare in Ancient Greece" assembles a wide range of source
material and introduces the latest scholarship on the Greek
experience of war. The author has carefully selected key texts,
many of them not previously available in English, and provided them
wiht comprehensive commentaries.
For the Greek "polis," warfare was a more usual state of affairs
than peace. The documents assembled here recreate the social and
historical framework in which ancient Greek warfare took
place--over a period of more than a thousand years from the Homeric
Age to Alexander the Great. Special attention is paid to attitudes
and feelings of the Greek towards defeated peoples and captured
cities.
Complete with notes, index, and bibliography, "Warfare in Ancient
Greece" will provide students of Ancient and military history with
an unprecedented survey of relevant materials.
