Quote:I could be wrong, but I believe it was also mentioned by Xenophon but don't quote me on that!
From memory -- I can't get Perseus to work at the moment Sad -- the only "machines" mentioned by Xenophon (besides the Persian ones in the Cyropaedia) are the ones whose path to Piraeus in 403 BC was blocked by dumping wagon-sized boulders on the approach road (Hell. 2.4.27). Probably some kind of siege towers?
