Man-to-man combat in the open field was just one element of Greek warfare in antiquity. Ambushes, nocturnal attacks on unprepared opponents and the undetected gathering of information about the enemy were also part of the military repertoire. Various examples of the importance of this "war in the dark" in ancient Greece are presented to the reader in this volume and placed in their overall historical, tactical and strategic context.
