| Feb 22, 2018 at 19:46 | comment | added | T.E.D.♦ | Interesting question. That "also" in the first sentence leads me to believe some context has been omitted here though. My suspicion would be its text pointing out that their bows and arrows were similar to the Cretans', and thus this is only pointing out that they used mostly compatible ammo (and presumably that may have worked both ways). | |
