In this volume, emerging and established scholars build on this consensus to explore Greek warfare beyond its traditional focus on hoplites and the phalanx. We expand the chronological limits back into the Iron Age, the geographical limits to the central and eastern Mediterranean, and the operational limits to include cavalry, light-armed troops, and sieges. We also look beyond the battlefield at integral aspects of warfare including religion, the experiences of women, and the recovery of the war dead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  List of Figures and Table  Abbreviations and Spellings    1 Introduction: Beyond the Phalanx   Matthew Lloyd, Roel Konijnendijk, and Cezary Kucewicz    2 Men of Iron Pre-Archaic Greek Warfare in Context   Matthew Lloyd    3 The Anatolian Roots of Archaic Greek Warfare   Josho Brouwers    4 The War Dead in Archaic Sparta   Cezary Kucewicz    5 Women, Diversity, and War off the Battlefield in Classical Greece   Jennifer Martinez Morales    6 Worshipping Violence   A.T.
