The epsilon axe is a type of battle axe named for its similarity to the Greek letter epsilon. The epsilon axe was widely used throughout the Middle East its usage spread from there and grew in popularity to be used in eastern Europe and Russia as well as the Nordic countries. The axe is also depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphics with the warrior carrying both the epsilon axe and a shield thus leaving some to believe that this weapon was used also as a one handed weapon.
