Hairete kyrioi te kai kyriai
I’m gathering material for an article about the evolution of the Greek sword. It might not be the preferred weapon in a phalanx battle but still, I find the subject interesting.
So, if anyone would like to contribute materials and ideas especially for the early Mycenaean period (nudge, nudge Mathew that would be you if you know what I mean) it would be greatly appreciated.
And yes, I will try to cover the whole Greek antiquity from the Mycenaeans’ hero warriors’ swords to the late Hellenistic ones.
Oh, by the way. I’m not going to publish it, after it’s done, in a couple of weeks time, mundane work schedule permitting, anyone who wants it can have it.

Honor to those who in the life they lead
define and guard a Thermopylae.
Never betraying what is right,
consistent and just in all they do
but showing pity also, and compassion
