Athenian military
The Athenian military was the military force of Athens, one of the major city-states (''poleis'') of Ancient Greece. It was largely similar to other armies of the region.
(詳細はhoplite. Along with every hoplite went an attendant, a lightly armed man, either a poor citizen who could not afford a regular suit of armor (''panoplia''), or possibly a trusted slave. These attendants carried the hoplite's shield (''aspis'') until the battle, and most of the baggage. While generally armed with javelins, they sometimes had spears, slings or bows. They acted as skirmishers before the pitched battle, and were assigned to guarding the camp during the actual fight. When the fight was done, they did their best to cover the retreat or slaughter the fleeing foes if their own hoplites were victorious.
During and after the Peloponnesian Wars, the use and importance of light troops increased with the introduction of the peltasts: lightly armoured, if at all, and armed with javelins and a shield, the ''pelte''.〔 Their effectiveness in battle, even against the best-trained heavy hoplites, was demonstrated by the Athenian general Iphicrates, who annihilated an entire Spartan ''mora'' with his peltasts.
