I think this part of the story was just to add to the point that this was the end of an era? Bronze weapons were on the way out with the invetion of steel and this was probably the last big war where bronze was the primary weapon?
Although by reading other books on this timeframe, I thought that the steel sword was invented by the Barbarians who later invaded Greece? Maybe one of the other people on this site will know where steel was invented?
