Download or read book Early Iron Age Greek Warrior 1100 700 BC written by Raffaele D’Amato and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period from 1200 BC onwards saw vast changes in every aspect of life on both the Greek mainland and islands as monarchies disappeared and were replaced by aristocratic rule and a new form of community developed: the city-state. Alongside these changes a new style of warfare developed which was to be the determining factor in land warfare in Greece until the defeat of the Greek city-state by the might of Macedonia at Chaeronea in 338 BC. This mode of warfare was based on a group of heavily armed infantrymen organized in a phalanx formation – the classic hoplite formation – and remained the system throughout the classical Greek period. This new title details this pivotal period that saw the transition from the Bronze Age warriors of Homer to the origins of the men who fought the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars.

Download or read book Greek Hoplite 480 323 BC written by Nicholas Sekunda and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2000-12-25 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek hoplite, the archetypal spear-armed warrior, is perhaps the most prevalent figure in our view of the 'Golden Age' of Ancient Greek civilisation. It was during this period that the state began to take greater responsibility for military organisation, and the arming and equipping of its citizens. From the victory at Marathon over Darius of Persia (490 BC), through bitter inter-state warfare, to the rise of Philip of Macedonia and his son Alexander the Great, the hoplite soldier was in the front-line. This title narrates the life and experiences of the common Greek warrior, how he was recruited, trained and fought, and also looks in detail at how his weapons, armour, shields and helmets developed in the course of time.

Download or read book The Pentathlon of the Ancient World written by Frank Zarnowski and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pentathlon, comprising competition in the discus, javelin, long jump, sprint, and wrestling, was hailed as the ultimate test of athletic versatility and remained a staple of the ancient Greek Olympic Games, Crown Games and Pan-Hellenic festivals for 1,200 years. Still, there is little scholarly consensus over many major aspects of the event. This detailed exploration of the ancient pentathlon discusses the nature of the spectacle, the method of determining a victor, the five sub-events and the order in which they occurred. It also chronicles the history of the event and its champions, the recognition of ancient pentathletes, and the pentathlon's 18-year modern Olympic history and its influence on its contemporary counterpart, the decathlon. A record book and glossary complete this fresh look at one of the ancient world's most renowned sporting competitions.

This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspis! A Simple Guide to Re-enacting Ancient Greek Warriors. The interest in military equipment of the Greek Classical era has led to a profusion of re-enactment groups, who demonstrate, every year, thoroughly researched reconstructions to the public. Re-enactors spend considerable time and money obtaining good quality reproductions which necessitates a quest for information, especially for those who are newcomers to this activity. This work offers simple guidelines on doing impressions and reconstructions of ancient Greek warriors. A training manual compiled from ancient texts and the author�s experience in re-enacting aims to offer clear guidelines so that ancient Greek infantry drill can be replicated safely. It takes into account modern conditions and facilitates the execution of ancient infantry drill by modern people and it addresses the needs of the enthusiast re-constructor. The author puts his experience to assist the average person who is fond of Ancient Greek history and warfare.

This book was released on 2023-07-10 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a variety of methodologies from multi-disciplinary backgrounds, this volume is the first to present an in-depth analysis of the life and times of Laskarina Bouboulina, the legendary heroine of the Greek Revolution and one of the most important figures in modern Greek history, the Mediterranean, and indeed, the world. At the age of fifty and mother to ten children, Bouboulina commanded a fleet of ships from the island of Spetses and became the first female admiral in world naval history. But her success on the battlefield is only part of the story – by considering her three-century impact on feminism, cultural production, and as a touchstone of diasporic Greek identity, the contributors to this volume also expand our understanding of her far-reaching and under-recognized contributions.
