Ancient Greek Chess Set
HISTORY: This Greek Roman Classical Chess Set is a stunning gift for a lover of classical times and ancient military history, echoing the intense strategy of war at famous battles such as the Battle of Marathon or Actium. The pawns are Hoplite citizen-soldiers of the Ancient Greek City-states. The rooks are urns which represent extra military rations for the long battle. The knights are majestic horse heads made famous in Greek times by Xenophon (ca 360 BC), a Greek cavalry officer who had written an extensive treatise on horsemanship. The bishops are sculptures of Athena--goddess of wisdom and war. The King is Zeus (Jupiter), leader of all the gods and god of the sky and thunder. The Queen is Venus Victrix ("Venus the Victorious"), the armed Venus, whom the Greeks inherited from the East and to whom Roman military leaders called for support in battle.
