520    There are two images of warfare that dominate Greek 
       history. The better known is that of Achilles, the Homeric
       hero skilled in face-to-face combat to the death. He is a 
       warrior who is outraged by deception on the battlefield. 
       The alternative model, equally Greek and also taken from 
       Homeric epic, is Odysseus, ‘the man of twists and 
       turns’ of The Odyssey. To him, winning by stealth, 
       surprise or deceit was acceptable. Greek warfare actually 
       consists of many varieties of fighting. It is common for 
       popular writers to assume that the hoplite phalanx was the
       only mode of warfare used by the Greeks. The fact is, 
       however, that the use of spies, intelligence gathering, 
       ambush, and surprise attacks at dawn or at night were also
       a part of Greek warfare, and while not the supreme method 
       of defeating an enemy, such tactics always found their 
       place in warfare when the opportunity or the correct 
       terrain or opportunity presented itself.Ambush will dispel
       both the modern and ancient prejudices against irregular 
       warfare and provides a fresh look at the tactics of the 
       ancient Greeks. [Elib]
