Thermopylae, Salamis. These Ancient Greek hoplite battles are known to a wider audience, if only as names. This book contains a list of ten, not so well-known Ancient Greek battles that as in the case of Eyremedon for instance, corroborated the results of the Persian Wars. Some others like the battles of Hyampolis and Delion are the first recordings of military innovations that have their uses even in modern battlefields. This title narrates also how Ancient Greek commanders used ingenuity and tactics to overcome overwhelming odds and annihilate the enemy instead of fighting a battle of attrition.
