    I got about half without help. Couldn't spell viriathus and xanthippos properly though. Also, two handed lance could be either xyston or kontos. Either one works there.

    Yeah, I made that about a year ago and there are a number of problems with it. I'll try making another soon.

    Edit:
    Here is another one!

    Ah shoot, I did it again, I used an 'o' when I meant to use a 'u', I'll have to give that one to you. 8 across is 'Pyrrhos'.

    I thought both were accepted spellings?

    Yeah, but 'u' is more commonly known, as with Xanthippus/xanthippos.

    Lol if I ever study history it will be EB's fault if I write Krete, Seleukos I Nikator etc.

    I did much better at this one, I mistook the Illyrian pirates for Cilicians..

    Eww. I hate those latinized spellings of non-Latin words. Overall nice quiz though.
    I couldn't figure out what "chickpea" meant. One of the very few English words I haven't yet come across.
