When were scythes used?

scythes were mostly used in the ancient times.in greek myths,kronos used a scythe to kill his father.not much scythes are used now in wars.AnswerIn the US, scythes have been used as recently as the 1800's when prairie farmers used them to cut grain and hay for harvest. Mechanical harvesters have eliminated the need for them, and the few remaining ones are now largely antique curiosities. In third world countries, though, they are still used frequently due to the lack of mechanical harvesting, particularly by subsistence farmers. For more information, see the related link below.
