Comment on Hellenistic War-Elephants and the Use of Alcohol Before Battle

Comments

This article assesses whether Hellenistic war-elephants were given alcohol before battle…Unfortunately, despite the recent rise in scholarly interest on war-elephants, this issue remains overlooked.

This is the best abstract ever.

I assumed this was going to be about how drunk you’d have to get to ride an elephant into battle.

Or to stand in the way of one.
