The Greek hoplite, the archetypal spear-armed warrior, is perhaps
the most prevalent figure in our view of the 'Golden Age' of
Ancient Greek civilisation. It was during this period that the
state began to take greater responsibility for military
organisation, and the arming and equipping of its citizens. From
the victory at Marathon over Darius of Persia, through bitter
inter-state warfare, to the rise of Philip of Macedonia and his son
Alexander the Great, the hoplite soldier was in the front-line.
This title narrates the life and experiences of the common Greek
warrior, how he was recruited, trained and fought, and also looks
in detail at how his weapons, armour, shields and helmets developed
in the course of time.
