>>> The "will" of the gods played a major "roll" (he he he) in the life of the Classical Greeks. I don't think we, today, understand how intertwined the gods and life were to them.
Best example I've ever seen was Gene Wolfe's "Soldier of the Mist" and its sequels. Worth a read to see the point that Mike is making.
>>> My experience with the Classical Greek WAB army is that you need to win quick.
Some California melon-farmer thought that's what they intended, and that led to something new he called the "western way of war". Wrote a book about it, too. Maybe they're raisins, not melons, though. I heard it through the grapevine.
>>> In WAB we often spent too much time fixing what isn't broken.
There's wisdom in the old chief yet.
