Historical background: Greek hoplite infantry formed the backbone of the armies of ancient city-states like Athens, Sparta, and Thebes. Units of this formation took part in the most important battles of the ancient world, such as the Battle of Marathon (490 BC), Thermopylae (480 BC), and Leuctra (371 BC). Hoplites were known for their discipline, excellent equipment (including the hoplon shield, short xiphos sword, and dory spear), and the phalanx tactics that brought them fame on the classical battlefield.
