Excellent article. 300 movie was awsome.
Great military unit, maybe the best on in ancient world together with roman legions.
Respect! I loved 300 movie.
Interesting article. However, the last illustration is of the Macedonian Phalanx using the Sarissa and the smaller Aspis shield, not Greek hoplites.
well they may be no hoplites but they still are greek,no doubt of that
WRONG! Macedonians were in Macedonia, which is north of greek. They were Like the Greeks( Hellenistic), but were not greeks!
Hmmmm! very nice article! and 300 movies are fabulous…! i really like it! thanks
that is very helpfull.
i told my daugter these facts for her homework!

The Qin Army would have smothered the Macedonian’s Phalanx with their crossbows.
Take a look at “war through the ages” Montrose.
excellent details of Greek warfare.
