‘Not Many Bows’
Greek light-armed forces have been the subject of numerous studies, but they are poorly integrated into the full narrative of Greek warfare. In this chapter, we look specifically at the role of light-armed fighters from the tenth to the fourth century, the social status of those who fought with light arms, and, where possible, their significance on the battlefield
Introduction
Greek warfare has long been understood to be ‘hoplite warfare’, focusing on the armoured spearmen who fought in the tight-knit phalanx formation. In introducing this volume, we trace the idea of the ‘hoplite’ and his essential ‘Greekness’ in popular media and modern scholarship, while also showing this understanding of the hoplite is distinct from that of the ancient world. We explore why, and how, this focus came about and how we aim to move bey…
Brill's Companion to Greek Land Warfare Beyond the Phalanx
After decades of controversy, there is now a growing consensus that Greek warfare was not singular and simple, but complex and multiform. In this volume, emerging and established scholars build on this consensus to explore Greek warfare beyond its traditional focus on hoplites and the phalanx. We expand the chronological limits back into the Iron Age, the geographical limits to the central and eastern Mediterranean, and the operational limits to …
Kings, Tyrants and Bandy-Legged Men
This chapter explores the nature of generalship in archaic Greece, attempting to disentangle the often conflicting, sometimes complementary, public and private factors which characterised the citizen militias of the early Greek poleis . Beginning with the Homeric epics, the discussion traces the changing principles of authority exercised by generals, that mirrored the wider military developments transforming the practice of war in Greece by the e…
The Treatment of the War Dead in Archaic Athens
Exploring the representations of the war dead in early Greek mythology, particularly the Homeric poems and the Epic Cycle, alongside iconographic images on black-figure pottery and the evidence of funerary monuments adorning the graves of early Athenian elites, this book provides much-needed insight into the customs associated with the war dead in Archaic Athens. It is demonstrated that this period had remarkably little in common with the much-ce…
Mutilation of the Dead and the Homeric Gods
Mutilation, along with all forms of maltreatment of the dead, was widely condemned by Greek authors of the Classical period. In a culture where the obligation to bury and respect the dead was seen as one of the strongest moral compulsions universal to all men, mistreating the dead was considered to be the most outrageous and unholy of actions, more suitable, as Herodotus states, for barbarians than for Greeks, ‘and even in them we find it loathso…
