A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into the actual weapons and tactics of the Trojan War era — the late Bronze Age. They explore the Mycenaean and Hittite military technologies that shaped the conflict: the heavy bronze-tipped spears and tower shields that dominated the Iliad's battlefield, the controversial role of chariots (were they battle taxis or mobile archery platforms?), and the surprising usefulness of slingers. They also discuss the logistical realities — how armies were fed, how sieges actually worked, and the critical role of coastal raiding. Key figures like Diomedes, Ajax, and Sarpedon get their due, and the episode touches on the archaeological evidence from Hisarlik and Hittite records that hint at real conflicts behind the myth.
