Synopsis
The role of warfare is central to our understanding of the ancient Greek world. In this book and the companion work, War and Society in the Roman World, the wider social context of war is explored. This volume examines its impact on Greek society from Homeric times to the age of Alexander and his successors and discusses the significance of the causes and profits of war, the links between war, piracy and slavery, and trade, and the ideology of warfare in literature and sculpture.

Review
`... it is useful to the specialist in warfare to have them gathered in a single volume.' - Classial Warfare
`The twenty-three papers in these volumes are of a high standard of originality and scholarship and form an important contribution to a field of study increasingly at the centre of ancient history.' - Greece & Rome
`The role of war in Greek society continues to attract a good deal of attention from scholars, and this volume contains some thought-provoking essays which, it is to be commended, place war in its correct context. ... the contributors to this volume manage to cover a good deal of ground from the Homeric age to the Hellenistic period. One of the strenghts of the book is that each essay has a good bibliography; we may recommend it as a very sound introduction to the on-going historical problem of the place of warfare in Greek society.' - Greek Gazette
