Cyrenean Greeks and Their Chariots

[Dextropy]

Greetings,
I'm currently working on a 15mm Cyrenean Greek army for MeG, and I've hit a bit of a wall regarding sources on their military.
I was curious if anyone had some good leads on contemporary sources. I've found a litany of journal articles, but most of them are 50-60 years old and seemingly contradict each other. In terms of books, I've found "Chariots and Other Wheeled Vehicles in Iron Age Greece" but at $140 its a bit rich for my research budget. I don't have a particularly scholastic background, so I feel my JSTOR queries are just missing their mark.
Thanks!
Dexter

If you have JSTOR access, the article you need as a starting-point is this.

It's available on the free reading access scheme.

Aye, this and the main rebuttal are the 50-60 year old sources I was referencing.
I can't seem to find anything with a publication date beyond 1975. Not that they're erroneous, just trying to see if there is any newer scholarship on the subject.

Right... I haven't come across anything new recently, then.

Well, Phil Barker in the DBMM army lists says "Kyrene was noted for copying four-horsed chariots from the neighbouring Libyans".  He also told me that he had seen a sculpture or relief showing a Kyrenean chariot with what looked like a water-skin slung underneath, but he didn't tell me what the chariot itself looked like.

Conventional wargaming wisdom is that Libyan Chariots looked like what figure manufacturers produce officially as a Carthaginian chariot.

Then the challenge is finding crew that look Greek and not Punic.

FWIW I used the Chariot Miniatures Carthaginian chariots for my Kyreneans, but these are a bit small if you want to cram three crew in. I suspect the equivalent from Minifigs, Xyston or Forged in Battle would be larger and you could use figures from a "true 15 mm" manufacturer for a less crowded crew.

For the mounted infantry I scratch-built some wagons that hold two 10 mm deep hoplite bases.

That's because "what figure manufacturers produce officially as a Carthaginian chariot" tends to be based on my drawing of a Libyan chariot in AMPW, which is in turn based on the Persepolis reliefs of Libyan tributaries.

Nice models.
