Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the first-ever translation into English of a hitherto little-known Greek military treatise written in the fourth century BC by the otherwise unknown author Aeneas Tacticus. This work encapsulates Greek military thinking in the period leading up to the rise of Alexander the Great and is likely one of the sources for later, more famous military works, such as those of Aelian and Arrian. The author was a student of military history who had practical experience of warfare, and his book offers a wealth of information and anecdote on military matters. Aeneas's approach to warfare was technical rather than philosophical and his focus is on the minutiae of military life, from the construction of fortifications and siege engines to the organization of patrols and the correct use of spies. He also makes proposals for changes to the organization of the Athenian army, including the introduction of a standing army and the appointment of a single commander-in-chief, ideas which were not taken up by the Athenians but which were adopted by Philip of Macedon and his son, Alexander the Great, with spectacular results. This work is a valuable source of information on the military practices of classical Greece and an essential read for anyone interested in ancient warfare. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780267315758_0
