Greek Mythology: From The Iliad To The Fall Of The Last Tyrant

Fun Fact Quiz 6


Ox-Cart? Nope...

There were many ways to die in ancient Greece but ox-cart related deaths were a rarity ... to the best of my considerable knowledge, there are no fatal ox-cart incidents on record ... if you want to talk about chariots, then we have quite a few fatalities ... probably one of the most dangerous places you could be during a battle was in a chariot ... driving an ox-cart was a low-fatality sort of occupation if you didn’t provoke the ox and stayed in the cart.

Homer was not killed by an ox-cart ... not only would it have been an un-poetic death, it would have been downright embarrassing.
