Hello,
Does anyone know of any good book or article on the spread of the Scythian bow? People often allude to the Scythian bow coming into use all over SE Europe and SW Asia around the 7th/6th centuries BCE, but its hard to find details or information on how far west and south it spread. Snodgrass and C. Zutterman "The Bow in the Ancient Near East" have some useful things.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
