@F.W. Because what you say is incorrect. Nobody invaded from the north as both archeology and genetic studies show. Furthermore the landscape of Greece is very mountainous and chariots are useless for warfare let alone no evidence of north-to-south chariot spread. Greece since at least Minoan times heavily interacted with the Near East which makes it the most logical scenario for the origin of the chariot in Greece, possibly along with the Greek language (Greek is closer to Armenian than to NW European languages).

Imagine your a lowly infantryman crammed into the tight formation of initiates from your unit. Your marching forward & over the next birm you spot 50+ enemy war chariots racing your direction. You watch your men fire off arrows, toss javelins at the charging marauders. Only a few meet their target & the rest of the charioteers crash into your ranks. You see the sickle blades attached to the wheels chopping through squads of guys leaving men with no legs & arms. Huge nasty open wounds, entrails flying about & men yelling for their mothers. You can only watch in terror as a large scythed chariot barrels through your close squad. You look to you your unguarded meaty legs & gulp as you see the massive blades envelope you. You wake up a few moments later to realize your missing both your legs. You pick one up off the ground but the other is stuck to the chariot that’s still wreaking havoc close by. A loose arrow strikes you in the stomach. The world fades to black.

It seems to me that, if a charioteer wants to charge, he needs to be confident that the enemy will break before he gets there. Two ponies aren't going to bash through 8 ranks of men with spears and shield and they certainly won't survive doing so. And, even with a long spear, the charioteer is far too far back to influence that initial impact. I also think he'd have a good chance of being thrown out of the chariot and landing amidst the enemy. I'm not saying it can't be done but I think you'd have to target skirmishers or weak levied troops. Riding headlong into disciplined infantry seems suicidal.

In close order fighting I can imagine the chariot acting as a battle taxi to drop off elite warriors to the rear and flanks of an enemy formation(think of professional warriors head to toe in the armour of the day). In dispersed fighting I think the use of it as a shock vehicle would be alright. The horses could trample individuals but the driver is not armoured, but the warrior is. The heavy set of armour worn only by the warrior seems to suggest dismounted warfare in my opinion. In dispersed warfare a warrior could 'hit and run' with the chariot. I'd draw inspiration from chariot use by the Britons in Julius Cesar's writings.

@@SHrepairs Sure, there are examples, including Alexander the Great's Companion Cavalry. Dont need to go looking for weird examples. But a moving horse is not a very stable platform for stabbing an armored man, you are pushing yourself from the saddle with equal force as you are stabbing him, and thats kinda a problem. Nothing that would inconvenience a trained rider, but stirrups are the real difference between light and fast harassing forces and the murder machines called knights. Without stirrups you sit on your ass, with them you can stand. That makes it easier to move, maneuver, and go faster. But the real difference is you swing a sword with full body strength, not with just arm. Did you ever do karate? Remember what sensei said? Punch starts from the toes, not the shoulder. Stirrups let you do that. Stirrups are the difference between a spear and a lance. With spear you stab with your own strength. With a lance, you hold it, and stab transfering the strength AND momentum of the horse. Thats a massive difference. Thats why you can dismount riders in heavy plate, or punch through the steel of that plate. There are of course examples of elite cavalries without stirrups, yes, but from a military point of view its difference of longbow and muskets. Sure a longbowman can defeat a musketeer, but thats after 12 years of training. With the better equipment, you get similar results after 12 days of training. The differences in utility are huge.

And people who are just figuring out how a horse works, sometimes. The bronze age world is just starting to figure out stuff we take for granted. Stuff like which spot on the horse you're supposed to sit on, how to use a horse without falling off and getting crushed, little things like how to clean the beast. The difference is huge between nomadic horsemen and the settled cities. You can have an army where maybe 10-20% are mounted and understand the basics of a horse meeting an army where everyone is on a horse and know how to use them without falling off.

@@SusCalvin And thats late bronze age. Early bronze age didnt have cavalry, just chariots, because the whole riding thing wasnt a thing yet. So its chariots, not cavalry. And chariots are super expensive, so 10% mounted is already pushing it. I would go so far that 10% of an army, mounted in battle was not achieved until medieval times and became common after renaissance. Not counting the tribals of course. But, remember, in most tribal societies, including the steppe peoples, most people didnt own a horse, and even with the mongols, there was riding horses but not horses trained for war. Meaning that even for mongol armies, most men rode to battle, but fought on foot. So you are absolutely right, but still guess too high. Think of Egyptian Early Dynasties. An army of 30000 men and 300 chariots is just 2% mounted. But of course those 2% punch far above their weight. Its the same thing as WW2, where most infantrymen had never seen a tank, in some cases, never seen an automobile. In the start of the war, whole units could break at the sight of an armored car. And chariots, like tanks, were LOUD.

About the utility of chariots as "battle taxi" there is a revealing passage in the Iliad where Aenea questions the renowed archer Pandarus (an ally of the Trojans) why he wasn't targeting Diomedes that was salughtering the Trojan first line. Pandarus answered that he hit Diomedes from afar, with no effect, and complained that, having left his chariots and horses home when he departed for Troy, fearing for them to starve in a siege, he couldn't get close to fight him, and so he felt to be useless. In a warfare based on personal duels between heavily armoured and perfectly armed heroes (while infantrymen just had a shield and a one-anded spear, or a mace), not having a chariot was a huge disadvantage. You had to run, in a heavy armor, to reach your target, only to see him carried somewere else, and without possibility to escape if things got bad. An hero with a chariot instead could dictate the time of the battle, since he could decide to fight when, and where, he thought to have an advantage.

The average skirmisher in the greek city-states is a bloke with light armour and javelins or slings. He can just outrun the heavy infantry if necessary, and is expected to do so.

Now if the champions just wanted some 1v1 fun before the free for all melee of battle then that's different 😄 You can imagine certain courageous individuals who may want to enhance their own reputation walking out from the lines and challenging an opponent to face him in a duel.

@@-andyk-3069 The structure of just about every army prior to the Romans (and most afterwards until the late medieval) was a king, prince, or other warlord-type leader, with a small group of bodyguards or personal retainers, but the bulk of the rank and file was drawn from the state's agricultural and urban workforce (with military training if they were lucky). It makes perfect sense to have a duel of champions in the context of wars which were about border squabbles and cattle raiding rather than outright conquest. Getting all your farmers killed is a good way to wreck your economy, while a single leader can be more easily replaced.

Makes sense when you consider that mobility and not war fighting is the goal of the technology. You want to get rid of as much junk as possible and still have the usability. A saddle with stirrups is a much simpler piece of technology than an entire chariot that required two people to use effectively.

Reading the Illiad, we get the impression that armies lined up the infantry in a long battleline, with commanders in their chariots making token duels. The main chariot force was however set aside for the decisive moment of the skirmish, when somewhere in the battleline an advantage had been gained - most frequently on the flank. Then the chariots would "taxi" their warrior aces to the spot where a decision was within reach. In so case the part getting the worst of it would hurry back to the defended base, i.e. city or fortified camp. Skirmish won or lost - rarely lasting more than half an hour and seldom more than one skirmish a day.

It's hard for me to explain, in less than 3 of 4 pages, how oral poetry using formulae was constructed. The important point is, Homer would have been drawing on thousands of memorise blocks of poetry (some as small as two words, others as big as several paragraphs) to fit the rhythm and metre of his composition. Some of those blocks/formulae, would have been composed several hundred years before Homer was born. As such, they come from poets who were alive, shortly after the events in the story occurred. So it is, that Homer (verified by archaeology) is sometimes accurate about things that he had no knowledge or understanding of.

There is a revealing passage in the Iliad where Aenea questions the renowed archer Pandarus (an ally of the Trojans) why he wasn't targeting Diomedes that was salughtering the Trojan first line. Pandarus answered that he hit Diomedes from afar, with no effect, and complained that, having left his chariots and horses home when he departed for Troy, fearing for them to starve in a siege, he couldn't get close to fight him, and so he felt to be useless. In a warfare based on personal duels between heavily armoured and perfectly armed heroes (while infantrymen just had a shield and a one-anded spear, or a mace), not having a chariot was a huge disadvantage. You had to run, in a heavy armor, to reach your target, only to see him carried somewere else, and without possibility to escape if things got bad.

There is a theors that Homerus misunderstood how a chariot was used. As he lived centuries after chariots disappeared, he could only assume past warriors used chariots as horses were used by his time. By Homerus' age horses were strong enough to support the weight of a rider but as saddles, stirrups etc were not yet invented, fighting on horseback was inefficient; so by that age nobles used to travel on horseback but fought the battle on foot. Homerus supposed chariots worked like the same, although real bronze age people could have used chariots for actual fighting.

I recall seeing an old anthropology documentary showing isolated primitive New Guinea tribes facing off against each other in a ritual combat. The leaders and warriors strutted around in front waving their short spears and clubs and mocking & threatening the opposite warriors and their tribe, while their people danced and hooted derision behind them. Sometimes arrows would fly, mostly harmlessly, and sometimes warriors would feint an attack. It was mostly all for show, but there were occasions when the warriors did engage in hand-to-hand combat. On rare occasions, several combats would get going at the same time and someone actually got themselves killed. The tribes would then separate to nurse their grudges until the next time. In the early-mid Bronze Age, it seems likely to me that just such ritual chariot combat scenes took place between cities or towns in no-man's-land territory. Most of the common people, having few actual weapons, would stay back and make a lot of noise, but the aristocrats & maybe even royalty with chariots would parade out front, daring the others to attack. They would engage the chariots of the enemy in a ritualized one-to-one matter, almost like jousting. Only the nobles had the horses and the chariots for such "honourable" activity (and they did not want to arm the peasants anyway). So there may actually have been one-on-on chariot battles on the rough ground of Hellas because a large space was not needed. This would answer a great many questions about how chariot warfare was done in Greece.

I liked the video but I would like to point something out: As Salimbeti notes, many details in the Iliad, such as the location of some places, or the decorations and placement of weapons, could not be confirmed by the later Greeks because they were not populated or did not exist anymore. However, they were confirmed in the 20th century thanks to archelogical finds. This suggest the Illiad was composed not long after the Trojan War, and thus may be trusted much more than previously thought. I thus consider the depiction of chariot combat in the Iliad as something very very plausible.

The Cyrenian Greeks used four-horse chariots into the Classical period. Also, a guy in a chariot with a long lance can’t brace himself, it’s the same problem as lacking stirrups. The thumbnail guy should go flying off the back of the platform. Unless he had a strap or rear rail or something. The Egyptian version of relying on archery seems more practical.
