Re: What got you into the period?
Yes I do the very first book that got me hooked - greek Armies by Peter Conolly - nice section on heroic era (homer etc). Not sure it is availbale anymore though - although Peter Conolly did also do a soft back Iliad book covering much the same content (was later and may still be available) - good illustrations but a little light if you really are into the period. Failing that Osprey also cover the period well too.Originally Posted by Respenus

We have fed our sea for a thousand years
And she calls us, still unfed,
Though there’s never a wave of all her waves
But marks our English dead:
We have strawed our best to the weed’s unrest,
To the shark and the sheering gull.
If blood be the price of admiralty,
Lord God, we ha’ paid in full!
