I thought it might be good to recommend a book or two to go along with my previous post. I'm a huge fan of Steven Pressfield's work, so this week I will focus on his books, especially sincea lot of them are set in ancient Greece.
Gates of Fire - Steven Pressfield
Hands down the best fictional representation of the Battle of Thermopylae, and the last stand of the 300 Spartans.
Last of the Amazons - Steven Pressfield
Another great book featuring the Phalanx.
Tides of War - Steven Pressfield
Although I haven't read it, I intend to. It's set in the midst of the Peloponnesian War (between Athens and Sparta), and is sure to contain some great phalanx vs phlanx action.
Here is a link to Steven Pressfield's website. http://www.stevenpressfield.com/books/ There are also some good books featuring the Macedonian Phalanx, but I'll put them in the next set of recommendations.
