What is a ancient Greek sword called?
The earliest Greek swords were made of bronze. In the time that
Homer wrote about, Homeric swords were more advanced. One type was
called chalcos and was made of copper. There were also the Xiphos,
Phasganon, and Aor. These were made of steel that sometimes had
gold and silver accents. The xiphos has a double edge. There was
also a kopis which was a machete like blade.
