Ancient Greek Organized and feerless in Battle Great Statue 6th c.B.C

Ancient Greek warriors became the premiere warriors of their classical world. Through intense internal warfare they perfected heavy infantry tactics and when they were united they were able to defeat the Persians, the super power of their day. The heavily outnumbered Greek warriors called hoplites used superior tactics, training and arms to defeat two massive invasions. During the Bronze Age, starting around 1600BC, the ancient Greeks fought in the heroic style of Homer. Each warrior fought for personal glory instead of in an organized formation. Battles usually started with taunts and jeers, followed by duels between Champions. If neither side lost its nerve a general battle would began. Ancient Greek warriors had already started to wear cumbersome, but effective, armor and casualties were usually light during the melee. Men fought armed primarily with spears and short swords and the Greek warriors had already jumped ahead of their contemporaries in the use shields and armor. They considered ranged weapons, like the bow, to be cowardly and avoided them. Much like in later phalanx warfare the real carnage started when one side was routed. Fleeing enemies could not make use of their shields and made excellent targets.(B520) This sculpture is made of casting stone! Tracking number provided!!! Details Condition: New, made in Greece.
