	Warfare 1
		This hoplite is not depicted with his weaponry.
		The hoplite carried the sword in a wooden scabbard, which was hung from his neck by a cord.
		Since the shield only protected the left side of the hoplite (his right arm had to be free to employ the spear and the sword), it was deployed in such a way that it protected the right side of the man on the left in line.

	Ancient Greek Hoplite Reenactment
		The idea for this website was born on one cold, August evening when, huddled around a campfire at a reenactment event, the flow of alcohol and slowly diminishing feeling in exposed extremities led to a discussion about the challenges faced by Hoplites on campaign.
		From that, the difficulties encountered, the research undertaken, the realisations born from experience and the fact that re-creating a period bordering on pre-history does demand a monumental leap of faith, gave rise to an idea that motivation was the key and thus this website was conceived.
		Hoplon: commonly corrupted in translation and applied solely to the hoplite shield, but essentially meaning 'weapon' as a general term.

	Greek Hoplite Warfare (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		The weapons and armor that hoplites brought into battle is telling of the brutality as well as the required physical endurance that defined phalanx warfare.
		However, this arrangement also endangered those hoplites in the rear ranks, for misdirection or accidental backward thrusts of the spear often led to the injury or death of one’s fellow soldier.

	Hoplite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word hoplite (Greek ὁπλίτης, hoplitēs) derives from hoplon (ὅπλον, plural hopla, ὅπλα) meaning an item of armor or equipment and consequently the entire equipment of the hoplite (but not specifically the circular shield, which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a hoplon, though it was in fact called an aspis).
		A hoplite typically had a breastplate, a bronze helmet with cheekplates, as well as greaves and other armor, plus a bowl-shaped wooden shield called an aspis which was around 1 metre across.

	History of the hoplite phalanx -
		The phalanx is recognized by its bristle of spears, and the spear was indeed the principal offensive weapon of the hoplite.
		Hoplites were organized in the phalanx as row upon row of men, typically about eight ranks deep, and stretching abreast for a quarter mile or more.
		Hoplite battles frequently took place in long, straight valleys--so common in the Greek mainland--where the phalanx could occupy the entire width of the valley and thus protect its flanks and its rear.

		Hoplite armour and its reconstruction has been a topic of conversation within the reenacting world for some years.

		The central figure of which was the free farmer of the Greek countryside who donned nearly 80 pounds of armour in the hot summer, lined up with his fellows and charged a muderous row of brass tipped spears to settle border disputes in a single climactic clash.

	hoplite arms and armor
		The typical Greek fighter was a heavy-armed infantryman called a "hoplite" from the most distinctive piece of his body armor, the large round shield, or hoplon.
		It was thus essential that hoplites fight in formation, each man protecting the otherwise exposed right flank of the man to his left.
		In case they lost their spear the only secondary weapon that the hoplites carried was the short sword, which was was useful to some degree as a defensive weapon, but as an offensive weapon was not as effective.

	The Hoplites (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is at first sight surprising that the steep mountains of Greece should have produced warriors who were only fully effective in formation on relatively level ground, but the level corn plain was vital to the city’s existence, and the purpose of these armies was to dominate that territory, and either protect or devastate it.
		The basic difference is that the Hoplite was armed in such a way that he could only fight effectively in formation, with his shield firmly fixed on his left forearm to protect his own left side and his neighbour’s right.
		Training together in such an army, the Hoplite class acquired a feeling of solidarity, and the nobles’ grasp of power was weakened when they were no longer the primary defenders of the city’s freedom.
