The civilizations of Greece in the Ancient World have inspired and fascinated throughout European history. The stories of Homer, combined with pioneering archaeological work, have enabled modern researchers and historians to piece together a rich material culture and reconstruct the mysteries of the Ancient World. This title traces the development of the military culture of the mainland and islands of Greece from the beginning of the Bronze Age in c.5000 bc. It details the rise of the Aegean civilization and its eventual collapse in the face of threats from the Minoans to the south and Achaeans to the north, describing the military organization, equipment and fortifications of these peoples from the latest archaeological evidence.
