Wars in ancient Greek were usually fought in summer for several reasons:
- It was the time when men could be best spared from farms to go and fight - remember that the Ancient Greek city-states were mostly agrarian.
- The weather was at its warmest, and was therefore most conducive to fighting.
- It was easier to forage and pillage.
- There are more hours of daylight in summer.
It must be remembered that in Ancient Greece, particularly in the earlier periods, wars were mostly decided on one battle - the warring city-states would decide a place and date, and meet their armies there. The winner of the clash was also the winner of the war.
