By land and by sea, they conducted raids, ambushes, battles and sieges; they embarked on campaigns of intimidation, conquest and annihilation; they fought against fellow Greeks and non-Greeks.Drawing on a wealth of literary, epigraphic and archaeological material, this wide-ranging synthesis looks at the practicalities of Greek warfare and its wider social ramifications. Alongside discussions of the nature and role of battle, logistics, strategy, and equipment are examinations of other fundamentals of war: religious and economic factors.Military art and scienceGreeceHistoryTo 500ArmiesGreeceGreeceHistory, Militaryambushes.ancient Greeks.annihilation.battles.conquest.intimidation.militarism.raids.sieges.war.Military art and scienceHistoryArmies355.020938Rawlings Louis1677546MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808314603321The ancient Greeks at war4044521UNINA
