Good Afternoon,
I'm starting to get the impression that ancinet Greek and Roman armies realy had something against using bows in batle as opposed to javelins or slings. Does anyone have any information on why this seems to have been the case, or is this a misconception? The only thing I can think of right now is some sort of cultural taboo revolving around archery being considered a "cowardly" way to fight, which shows up in various forms as far back as the poems of Homer.
