promachos
In ancient Greece and during the Byzantine era, the Promachoi (singular: Promachos; Greek: πρόμαχος) were the men fighting in the first rank of the phalanx.〔(Perseus Project - Greek Word Study Tool (πρόμαχος) ).〕 〔Sylloge Tacticorum, 45.15〕 The word can also be used as an adjective as in "promachos line"〔Leo VI. ''Tactica'', 12.43〕 referring to the first line of battle.It may also refer to ''Athena Promachos'', the famous bronze statue by Phidias that towered over the Parthenon.
The first use of the word is recorded in Homer's ''Iliad''〔Homer ''Iliad'', Ξ.82〕 and since then it has been used all through antiquity, the Byzantine years up to the modern times.
