"Thermopylae: The Battle That Changed the World"

[hoplite14gr]

Elements exist in Archeological Meusum in Athens, Lamia and the British Meusum. I mean those that made it there. There are stories of the local blacksmith of Anthele arround 1700 A.D. who found raw material easily.

I once wrote a book for arhaeologists in which I explained how sources must be read. It was soon a bargain book and ended as a remainder. I wonder what my next book, about battle narratives, will do.

Well I saw translations of Herodotus arround 1850 describing Spartan shields as "bucklers"!!! I do not know if it is nice poeticaly but it makes you wonder about the accuracy of Persian archers :o o


Kind regards
