	Sacred Band of Thebes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sacred Band of Thebes (ancient Greek: Ιερός Λόχος τών Θηβών; ἱερὸς λόχος hieròs lókhos) was a troop of picked soldiers, numbering 150 pederastic couples, which formed the elite force of the Theban army in late-classical Greece.
		The Sacred Band originally was formed of picked men in couples, each lover with his beloved, selected from the ranks of the existing Theban citizen-army.
		Defeat came at the Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC), the decisive contest in which Philip II of Macedon (with his son, Alexander the Great, as he would later be known) extinguished the authority of the Greek city-states.

	Sacred Band of Carthage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sacred Band of Astarte was a unit of heavy cavalry, operating in the Hellenistic style.
		The Sacred Band was easily perceived on a battlefield by wearing white, the color asscoiated with death in Carthaginian society.
		The Carthaginian Sacred Bands were eventually defeated during the First Punic War, but were reconstituted by the Carthaginian commander Hannibal Barca prior to Carthage's invasion of the Roman Republic during The Second Punic War.

	Matt & Andrej Koymasky - Famous GLTB - Sacred Band
		Deploying the Sacred Band on his front left wing, "Epaminondas made his left wing fifty deep and flung it forward in the attack." The "extra weight" of this wing and the "fanatical bravery of the Sacred Band" broke the Sparta right wing, which contained their best warriors.
		Gorgidas, according to some, first formed the Sacred Band of 300 chosen men, to whom as being a guard for the citadel the State allowed provision, and all things necessary for exercise; and hence they were called the city band, as citadels of old were usually called cities.
		Gorgidas distributed this sacred Band all through the front ranks of the infantry, and thus made their gallantry less conspicuous; not being united in one body, but mingled with many others of inferior resolution, they had no fair opportunity of showing what they could do.

	The Sacred Band
		Gorgidas, according to some, first formed the Sacred Band of three hundred chosen men, to whom, as being a guard for the citadel, the State allowed provision, and all things necessary for exercise: and hence they were called the city band, as citadels of old were usually called cities.
		With a view to this they did well, again, to make Harmony, the daughter of Mars and Venus, their tutelar deity; since, where force and courage is joined with gracefulness and winning behaviour, a harmony ensues that combines all the elements of society in perfect consonance and order.
		Gorgidas distributed this Sacred Band all through the front ranks of the infantry, and thus made their gallantry less conspicuous; not being united in one body, but mingled with so many others of inferior resolution, they had no fair opportunity of showing what they could do.

	Alexander the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 338 BC Alexander assisted his father at the decisive Battle of Chaeronea against the Greek city-states of Athens and Thebes, in which the cavalry wing led by Alexander annihilated the Sacred Band of Thebes, an elite corps regarded as invincible.
		After the battle, Phillip led a wild celebration, from which Alexander was notably absent (it is believed he was treating the wounded and burying the dead, both of his own troops and of the enemy).
		According to one story, the philosopher Anaxarchus checked the vainglory of Alexander, when he aspired to the honors of divinity, by pointing to Alexander's wound, saying, "See the blood of a mortal, not the ichor of a god." In another version, Alexander himself pointed out the difference in response to a sycophantic soldier.

		As for the songs themselves, I can not find a prediction for the next 'big worship song' that every church will be singing soon, but they are all very good.
		I like the David Crowder Band songs, and a few of the slower ones.
		But, other than that most of the album falls flat for me. The female vocalists oversing their songs, and even one of my favorite Matt Redman songs, "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord" is not that great.
