In 'Arms and Armor of the Greeks', A.M. Snoddgrass uses literary, archaeological, and artistic evidence to piece together a picture of ancient Greek armory from the Mycenaean period through the compaigns of Alexander the Great. Ancient Greece was neither populous nor rich in natural resources, Snodgrass explains, so it is remarkable that the Greeks succeeded in battle as often as they did. A new afterword written for this edition comments on recent research and discoveries in the field. (Publisher's information). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott.
