Its just my personal opinion that the use of chariots has been overstated in the tales, and that calvary was much more common.
    Yeah! Tales and legends sometime overstate the use of things. In my home country, Thailand there are many tales, legends and folk lores about kings, nobles and lords used extensively of chariots in warfare and duel which actually really nearly impossible to practice in ancient Thailand coz the dense of forest and soft soil of the delta and river banks. However, chariots exist in using even today(Only for few cremonies and some tradition practices) in Thailand just overstate the usage in that tales and legends.

    PS. 1.Sorry for not having reference and link coz those tales and legends are primary source in Thai if some of you interesting them I will try to find some link later(BTW These stuff will be out of the topic of EB time frame).
    2.I'm just want to support the idea that MYTHS like tale, folk lore, legend and saga sometime overstate stuff. You need archaelogical information to proof the fact.
    3.I do believe Bovi and Celtic punk post the right points.
