Greek battle axes, known as "labrys," were primarily used as weapons in combat and for ceremonial purposes. They featured a double-bladed design, making them effective for both slashing and chopping. In addition to their martial applications, labrys also held symbolic significance in various ancient cultures, often associated with matriarchal deities and rituals. Their use reflected the importance of both warfare and spirituality in Greek society.
