What can I say, guys?
I've checked my books (almost... ALL of them!) and I didn't find any mention of this curved weapon as the famous "XYELE"; although, I'm strongly believe that this '4th C Gravestone Sparta Museum' of "Peter Raftos' " post, is VERY-VERY interesting and with that discription from my dictionary I've wrote about, looking MUCH MORE accurated information for the Spartan "XYELE"!
Hmmm... Tomorrow I'm going downtown for some bussiness; I'll CHECK this issue in bookstores...
