Single Combat during the Trojan War
#1
I would open this up with the "BOLD" statement of Hector running around Troy attempting to wear out Achilles to fight on more favorable terms; NOT in fear as told by Homer (a Greek). The armies of Asia Minor (for example: The Persians) were trained to run long distance for faster travel and fighting in Desert Conditions classified as light infantry. Where as The Greeks favored a heavier infantry with better armor and strength. The later fight at Thermopylae was an obvious example of the two styles interacting in battle and the Greeks proved man to man they were the better warriors. At least in so far as the end results. Terrain was obviously a factor and the naval operations were also in the Greeks favor. Even still there are two different schools of Fighter both with valid points in their respective culture,regions and styles.
I have drawn my line and wait for the attack to commence! :lol:
