Single Combat during the Trojan War

[hoplite14gr]

Hmmm.....
Gentlemen we are "loosing the ball", I think.

I believe Craig was basically examining single combat in the Ancient Greek world.

So to summarize, Single comabt or Champion Contest was present:
A) In the Bronze Age.
B) It was also present in the "Geometric Era".
C) Alkeos praised his brother Antimenidas in his poems for valor in a duel with an enemy champion (Archaic Age)
D) Herodotos mentions Athenian Sophanes who killed Epivatas the Argive in a duel in Aegina after Epivatas had alread slain three Atheninans. (classical age)

Kind regards
