Greek Fire, Poison Arrows and Scorpion Bombs: Biological Warfare in the Ancient World
Flamethrowers, poison gases, incendiary bombs, the large-scale spreading of disease - are these terrifying tools of warfare modern inventions? Not by a long shot. Weapons of biological and chemical warfare have been in use for thousands of years, and "Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, & Scorpion Bombs", Adrienne Mayor's fascinating exploration of the origins of biological and unethical warfare, draws extraordinary connections between the mythical worlds of Hercules and the Trojan War, the accounts of Herodotus and Thucydides, and modern methods of war and terrorism. "Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, & Scorpion Bombs" will catapult readers into the dark and fascinating realm of ancient war and mythic treachery - and their devastating consequences.
