Individual or 'champion' combat is found throughout history, the art of 'dueling' appears in many cultures and time periods and is also found in the Bible (David and Goliath for example) I have to agree with the experts who feel that Homer was referring to weapons and tactics of his own time, just as the vase painters tended to paint the ancient heroes in panoply contemporary to the time of the artist. The website dedicated to Bronze age Greece recommended by hoplite14gr is an excellent source of info. I realize there is no connection, but does anyone else find the similarity between the Dendra panoply and the later Roman lorica segmentata interesting?
