Quote:I am trying to get some techniques from images and sources that one could (with some degree of accuracy) train in performing. In my version of The Iliad by W.H.D. Rouse, "Hector draws his sword and leaps striking downwards at Achilles". Is there any depiction in images that could relate? Other examples of similar fashion are most welcome.

I would get some spears and a big round shield and practice throwing the spears standing still and at a run. Also running carrying the spears and shield. I know of a few people trying to learn to fight with a hoplite's weapons, but I don't know of anyone else doing the same thing for Homeric warriors.

Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
