Description

Osprey’s survey of Greek warriors of the period of the Bronze Age from 1600 to 1100 BC. More than a century has passed past since German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann found out the treasures of Bronze Age Mycenae. The richly decorated artifacts of the entombed warriors, whose bodies still lay of their graves, confirmed that Homer’s epic The Iliad used to be based totally upon true events, and that the Achaeans described in his poems almost certainly did exist.

Through a combined examine of the mythical tradition, archeological findings, and written sources, this fascinating addition to the Warrior series explores the evolution of warfare within the Bronze Age Greek world. Covering weaponry, clothing, helmets, and body armor, it supplies a richly illustrated guide to the soldiers who have shone from the pages of Homer’s poem for just about three millennia.
