| Summary: | In Greek land warfare, routs were commonplace events. Almost all combats outside fortified areas ended in the partial or total rout of one of the opposing sides. Scholars have paid little attention to this fact. Yet routs and their escorts, fear and bloodshed, were at the heart of Greek conceptions of war. For many centuries, the Greeks considered the slaughter of vanquished enemies as a hunt. The texts of Polybius and Plutarch, as well as iconographic sources from the end of the 3rd and the first half of the 2nd century, provide a coherent and comprehensive corpus for dealing with these representations and their continuity into the Hellenistic period. It reveals how the Greeks of this period viewed violence and fury of men at war. |
