In many ways, it looks like the Greeks were almost proto Vikings/Saxons. Was watching that cheap and cheezy channel 5 docu on that recently discovered broken pharaoh statue. According to the programme, Greek warriors were the elite fighters of their day, and were used as mercenaries to the particular pharaoh whose bust it was when he (with their assistance) overthrew the overlords to whom he and his father were puppet rulers under. They were alluded to as 'bronze men from the sea'....very Jason and the Argonauts :)
