Champion Warfare

"We could engage in unarmed combat. Then I would snap your spine."

The idea of 'champion warfare' was common throughout antiquity - two powerful warriors, representative of each side, would duel each other in single combat. The winner would determine the battle without the need for further bloodshed. Ancient literature is full of incidents that emphasise the heroic deeds of the few. Champions duel throughout Homer's Iliad, as well as the famous tale of David and Goliath, and in the Celtic culture the Ulster Cycle of stories feature dramatic fights between champions heavily - most famously the Táin Bó Cúalinge, where the young hero Cú Chulainn faces off against the great Connacht warrior queen Medb and her husband, as well as a host of other solo combatants who try to best him.
