Putting an Acosta book aside. Might be "Revolt of the Cockroach People" because as Tina will testify, I am in the midst of cleaning the Aegean Stables. Will find more/others by Event. You will be happy, Quaz.

Having taken Athens in the Golden Age and Geek Mythology as graduate courses, I can say yes. When I return from some errands I will send you a list. I'll include period plays, like Aristophenes' works. Do you want Plato (complete works, Jowett Edition) and Aristotle? Please say yes

I've either read the following in their entirety or the germane sections. With the exception of Plato and Airstotle, they were all enjoyable reads, though in some places technical. Its kind of obvious in what area my interests are. I can also recommend a good game "Epic of the Peloponesian War," which you can prob ably get cheap on ebay. If not, let me know if you are interested. I think I still have connections. I also have a reference somewhere on coinage. I also have lots of back issues of Military History Quarterly, which has some fine articles. Books below will be on loan to you for as long as you need them. I'll figure out how to get them to you.
Any topic in which you are specifically interested that is not below, let me know about and I will inquire among my associates. I can really help you in medieval, or 20th century warfare, esp naval. Come to think of it, any warfare.
I recall a great deal from the Athens class, so if you want, PM me and feel free to pick over my brain.
Warfare in Ancient Greece
The End of the Bronze Age (how far back in Greek history do you want to go, Joe?)
The Origins of the Peloponesian War
The Archidamian War
The Early Greeks
The Landmark Thucydides
Philip II
Thucydides Peloponesian War
Herodotus The Histories
The Greek and Macedonian Art of War
The Odyssey
The Iliad
Euripedes - Medea and others
Sophicles - The Theban Women
Aristophenes - The Wasps, The Poet and the Women, The Frogs
Hellenistic Civilization and the Jews
Complete Works of Plato (the most boring class, undergraduate or graduate, I ever had the misfortune to take)
Most of Aristotle
Edith Hamilgton - Mythology
Bullfinch's Mythology
