Quote:Where does this story come from?Probably a misunderstanding of Diodorus: he writes that shields with sand were heated; when they where glowing of the heat and the sand was red-hot, the defenders threw them through the air at the attackers. Even this story can not be true: when sand is red-hot, the shield has already molten. |
