The Egyptians, supported by the Pereset and the Peoples of the Sea, assault the Libyans. Observe the headgear, the small shields of the Peoples of the Sea. This reflects the changes in military hardware introduced by the Greek general Iphicrates. The story of this war is written up in the `History' by Diodorus.

Please notice the appearance of the sea warriors: The Egyptians, Persians, Greeks and Libyans. Look for these types in all images to be able to see who is fighting against whom.[Also see Ancient Egypt, Aug/Sep 2005, p. 48-53]
