EB Bibliography II: What are you currently reading?

[Narhon]

Lucan's Pharsalia at this time. It took a minute to get use to but I am enjoying It. It kind of reads like the Iliad

a little off EB's topic

Euphemism of the day!

I'm reading Simon Scarrow's "Under the Eagle" series. Pretty nice.

I've just finished The Mycenaeans by Louise Schofield. A very good and most importantly up to date introduction to the Mycenaean culture. I can warmly recommend it to anybody interested in late bronze age greece who doesn't allready have a few books about this topic. The book covers all important areas and is well illustrated with photographs and drawings. I only would have wished thaat some of the more controversial points had been discussed in greater detail, however the bibliography hints at further literature about these.


Other than this book I've read since I posted last time in this thread:


The Spanish Galleon, Osprey, Angus Konstam
Loeb Classical Libary Book 156, containing the surving fragments of the works of three less known greek tacticians Aenas "The Tactician" (4th century BC), (1st century Bc) and Onosander (1st century AD)
The conspiracy of Catiliana, Sallust
Imperium, Robert Harris
The 50 Gun Ship, Ric Winfield: All you have to know about the RN's 50 gun ships. Comes with a seperate fold out plan of HMS Leopard (1799). Really worth every cent.
