Description

The achievements of the Greek cavalry on the battlefield were monumental, and yet until now the heavy infantry - the hoplite - has received by far the most attention from military historians. This book traces the history of the Greek cavalry, offering a reassessment of the place of mounted troops in the warfare of Ancient Greece. Its historical sweep is broad, with coverage which extends from 1400 BC, through the Archaic period to the Classical period.
