Mycenaean Warriors

[Gregory J. Liebau]

We finally have a real expert talking here. Everybody pay attention. Welcome to the board, Salimbeti.

I'd like to make it known that although I dragged Andrea into the public forums a year or so ago, I want it understood that on many debates I believe Dan makes extremely valid points (just as much as Andrea) and that BOTH sides of the argument must be listened to before a personal conclusion is drawn.

Both of these people have very valid opinions, and are probably the two most knowledgeable folks to grace their presence on the world wide web when it comes to late Bronze Age warfare. Please don't dispell one of their thoughts simply because the other is here. Andrea makes many points that Dan cannot argue with simply due to Andrea's large availability of resources that none of us could compare with. That's a natural fact.

Although, on matters that come to interpretation of Homer's texts, Dan makes just as important a contribution as most anyone, because he does have the ability to decipher it on his own, and does have the appropriate material in front of him as he does so.

Andrea is the main link we have to modern archealogy in Greece and the surrounding areas and discovering what's going on with it all. The interpretations Andrea makes are astounding because they can combine the knowledge of so many great names in the whole business, and half of us can't even pronounce those! Andrea also gets to see the real stuff where it was dug up, when it was, sometime! Talk about first-hand observations!

Now that I snuck my way in here, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested in this subject enough to participate in further conversations or keep up with more news on it over to the Bronze Age Center. We've had some cross-posts from the forum over in this thread already, but now I present you all with a formal invitation. Please regard it as my holiday gift!
