Le titre porte en lui la nouveauté du projet : on n'étudie pas ici le combat des héros, mais la face occultée de la guerre, son envers, et la manière dont les cités grecques n'ont cessé de la mettre en débat. Contrairement aux idées reçues, les Grecs ressentaient le choix de la guerre comme un échec qu'il fallait conjurer par certaines stratégies, protectrices ou défensives, par des institutions, des formes de discours, des comportements partagés, des projets politiques. Ils n'avaient de cesse d'interroger sa fonction, ses conséquences pour la société et les individus.La guerre apparaît non comme un phénomène intangible, mais comme une construction humaine qui varie, des cités à Alexandre, de la Macédoine à Rome : une institution contingente et contestable, dont on tente de se prémunir par la connaissance que l'on acquiert d'elle. Tels sont les revers de la guerre, appréhendés comme une forme de pensée et de sensibilité collective. Pascal Payen renouvelle notre vision de l'Antiquité grecque et de ses guerres, par une réflexion en résonance avec l'historiographie des grands conflits qui ont embrasé le XXe siècle.

"Recent research into the military history of ancient Greece has questioned the central role traditionally ascribed to the famous hoplite phalanx by historians and suggested that even as late as the Persian Wars of 480-479 BC, Greek battles consisted essentially of open fighting and duels between individual combatants, in an almost Homeric fashion. In this meticulous study, Adam Schwartz in turn questions the new orthodoxy. Departing from a detailed scrutiny of hoplite equipment and its physical characteristics, the author demonstrates that this equipment must in fact have been developed specifically to meet the needs of warriors fighting in closed formation, which, it is shown, can be traced back into the eighth century BC. In this way, the study is not only a reappraisal of the role of the phalanx, but also a significant contribution to the study of Archaic Greek history. Great emphasis is, furthermore, placed upon the illumination of such crucial questions as the duration of the average hoplite battle and the role of the othismos - pushing - in deciding the outcome. In short, this book will quickly claim its place as one of the basic studies of ancient Greek hoplite battle"--Book jacket.
