Greek Hoplite 480323 BC by Nicholas Sekunda
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.Nicholas Sekunda studied Ancient History and Archaeology at Manchester University, and took his Ph.D. in 1981. He has taken part in archaeological excavations in Poland, Iran and Greece and published numerous books and academic articles. He is currently teaching at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology in Torun, Poland.
