Of course, Lendon s ideas are not extended only to comparison od psychological factors of warfare. But, as for me,
Xenophon is more similar to Caesar in depicting battles. He also wrote a lot about the morale of the troops and their psychology. But even Polybius considered bravery one of the crucial factors in reaching success. Even for generals - he wrote that the main qualities of ideal general are logismos kai tolma.
And why do Caesar and Romans generally relied more on virtus?
