Английская Википедия:Aeneas Tacticus
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer
Aeneas Tacticus[1] (Шаблон:Lang-grc-gre; fl. 4th century BC) was one of the earliest Greek writers on the art of war and is credited as the first author to provide a complete guide to securing military communications.[2] Polybius described his design for a hydraulic semaphore system.[3][4]
According to Aelianus Tacticus and Polybius, he wrote a number of treatises (Шаблон:Lang) on the subject. The only extant one, How to Survive under Siege (Шаблон:Lang-grc, Шаблон:Lang), deals with the best methods of defending a fortified city. An epitome of the whole was made by Cineas, minister of Pyrrhus, king of Epirus. The work is chiefly valuable as containing a large number of historical illustrations.[5]
Aeneas was considered by Isaac Casaubon to have been a contemporary of Xenophon and identical with the Arcadian general Aeneas of Stymphalus, whom Xenophon (Hellenica, vii.3) mentions as fighting at the Battle of Mantinea (362 BC).[5]
