Matthew Amt's Greek Hoplite Page For the reenactor, living historian, or reconstructionist with too much spare time and money For hundreds of years, warfare in Classical Greece was dominated by the hoplite, or heavy infantryman. These were generally citizen-soldiers, with each man providing his own equipment and serving when necessary in defense of his city. Hoplites fought in a phalanx, a dense line of spearmen four or more ranks deep. Each was armed with the large round shield (which some still incorrectly call the hoplon), a spear, and a sword, and typically wore a helmet, body armor, and greaves.
