About Me
Fred Eugene Ray (1949-) was born and grew up in Omaha, NE. In
1972, he graduated with a B.S. in geology from the University of
Nebraska, minoring in mathematics, chemistry and English. He
went on to graduate studies at the University of Oklahoma and,
in 1975, began a very rewarding career in the petroleum
business, working first as an exploration geologist and then as
a manager and executive on domestic and international
operations. He retired from Occidental Petroleum in 2001 after
serving that corporation as its worldwide Director of
Exploration. Since then, he has pursued a lifelong interest in
studying ancient Greek combat. Writing from his home in
Bakersfield, CA, he seeks to combine the interpretive techniques
of physical science with a wide array of data from both
classical and modern literature toward exploring the practical
realities of warfare in ancient Greece.
