More than a century has passed past since German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the treasures of Bronze Age Mycenae. The richly decorated artifacts of the entombed warriors, whose bodies still lay in their graves, confirmed that Homer's epic The Iliad was based upon true events, and that the Achaeans described in his poems probably did exist. Through a combined study of the mythical tradition, archeological findings, and written sources, this fascinating addition to the Warrior series explores the evolution of warfare in the Bronze Age Greek world. Covering weaponry, clothing, helmets, and body armor, it provides a richly illustrated guide to the warriors who have shone from the pages of Homer's poem for almost three millennia. Review: Excellent resource like all in this series - It is a little unnerving to see the probable battle dress of fighters at the time when the Trojan War may have happened. Instead of the chest-shaped bronze breastplates and fierce helmets with eye-slits and crests, we find human scarecrows in massively unwieldy armor. Not what I imagined when reading the lovely passages about Achilles' armor in The Iliad. But this is wonderfully well-researched and very useful as a reference. And the illustrations, showing the parts of weapons, carts, and so forth, give a real sense of what was involved and what could go wrong. Review: A Real Bronze Age Greek Warrior - The book in undoubtedly very good in terms of the illustrations and the representation of material at times so old that there s no way of saying what exactly it represents. Due to the efforts of these talented archeologists and historians we can once again glimpse at the Bronze Age warriors of Achaea, also known as the Mycenaean Civilization (we r talking somewhere around 16th B.E.) Of course, a few centuries from the 17th to the 20th are documented well enough to have more than a glimpse, but when it is 14-16 B.E. it is very hard to follow the intricacies of progress that may ve taken place during those times, and the authors are making a good point of that. As we look into the obscure distant past, there s very little clear. Questions like "where was Troy?", "who were the Acheans?", "did events described in the Iliad really take place?" are all valid. But it is common silliness to ascribe to the people, warriors of these far away times the look peculiar to the Classical Greek, as depicted on numerous vases, etc. - the Greeks of the Classical period were depicting themselves, just as the Star Wars' creators had their characters dressed in the bell-bottoms with the typical 70's hair dos. From this standpoint, the above book is a good effort to unveil the distant mystery. The illustrations are very good and bright, but what is really awesome is the authors' humbleness in saying "this is what we have come up with after the long research - now you give it a shot". ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 59 Reviews | ## Images ![Bronze Age Greek Warrior 1600–1100 BC (Warrior, 153) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91dOAyPbtvL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent resource like all in this series *by M***N on December 16, 2014* It is a little unnerving to see the probable battle dress of fighters at the time when the Trojan War may have happened.

Unfortunately most of the illustrated publications from Osprey or otherwise were depending on very dull information and images...But this book relies on up to date material and information thus having the best and the most realistic depictions of the Bronze Age Greek warriors and their world!!!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12520284-bronze-age-greek-warrior-1600-1100-bc-warrior-153](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/12520284-bronze-age-greek-warrior-1600-1100-bc-warrior-153) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
