'Children of Athena: The armed forces of ancient democratic Athens'
University of Edinburgh Public EventsOld College, South Bridge

About this event
The classical Athenians transformed warfare and became a superpower. Their armed forces were unmatched in size and professionalism, but because Athens is not famous for war today, there is no comprehensive study of this military success. Not many in the United Kingdom even study this war-making, even though it was, for the ancient Athenians, their topmost public priority. Join Leverhulme Visiting Professor David M Pritchard for more.
