It has been 2500 years since the Greek heavy infantry known as
hoplites dominated the battlefield. Yet they still capture the
imagination today, through a wave of successful action films,
novels and documentaries. The mass-media popularity of these famed
warriors has, however, helped spawn a number of misconceptions
about them. Drawing on classical literature, archaeology and the
latest data from physical, behavioral and medical science, this
study of hoplite equipment, tactics and command seeks to separate
modern myths from observable facts. The authors resolve some
persistent controversies and advance new theories about the nature
of ancient Greek warfare.
