OT -Thebes - Catiline - 07-05-2001

OT I know, but does anyone know of any good books that deal with the Theban military, especially in the earlyb fourth century. All my book lists from uni deal with the politics, all very interesting but not much use when it comes to battles. Cheers<br>

These are some articles that I know of, but to find more it may be useful to check H. Elton's online bibliographies for more:<br>
<br>

Buckler, J., 'Epameinondas and the embolon' in: <i> Phoenix</i> 39 (1985) 134-143.<br>
Hanson, V.D., 'Epameinondas, the battle of Leuktra (371 BC) and the 'revolution' in Greek battle tactics' in: <i> CA</i> 7 (1988) 190-207.<br>
