		Many, indeed, think this strict and entire affection is to be dated from the battle at Mantinea, where they both fought, being part of the succours that were sent from Thebes to the Lacedaemonians, their then friends and allies.
		In this battle, however, Epaminondas with his phalanx, neglecting the other Greeks, and charging them alone, and Pelopidas coming up with such incredible speed and fury, so broke their courage and baffled their art that there began such a flight and slaughter amongst the Spartans as was never before known.
		Androcydes, the Cyzicenian, had undertaken to paint a previous battle for the city, and was at work in Thebes: and when the revolt began, and the war came on, the Thebans kept the picture that was then almost finished.

		The dream of the Athenian leader Demosthenes of a pan-Hellenic rebuff to Philip II of Macedon was nearly realized when thirty thousand Greeks in the plain of Chaeronea blocked the southward march of the Macedonians.
		Chaeronea was not proof of the superiority of the Macedonian phalanx with its lighter body armor and lengthier spears.
		Rather, it was a more fundamental reassessment of the entire nature of Greek warfare, a preview of a new military to come, wherein light infantry, cavalry, and the phalanx worked in concert, incorporating feints, reserves, encirclements, and oblique advances to confuse and tear apart less imaginative and slower-moving infantry.

		In a time when the outcome of battles rested on fellow soldiers’ trust for one another, an individual hoplite's reputation for strength and courage was his greatest asset in keeping his adjacent hoplites bound in a line.
		The nature of battle for the individual hoplite necessitated trust in one's fellow infantryman for personal and group survival, a tradition that resonates through the history of war, yet exemplified to its finest on the battlefield of Greek antiquity.
		Prior to battle, it is evident that hoplites consumed more than their daily ration of wine in hopes of dulling the pain anticipated in possible wounds.
