Well quite

Comments by Robin Lane Fox historian advisor on the movie Alexander about the nature of battle rage (lyssa in Greek):

"I know what it means now," Fox says. "Even with a rubber spear, I know what it means, and you don't come near a chap, even with bare legs, if he is possessed by lyssa, especially if he is a historian."

Bare legged berserker hordes of historians. Oh my.
