The Greeks perceived warfare as a heroic activity, often modelling their descriptions of military conflicts on language used in epics such as Homer’s Iliad. Most of these wars were fought by hoplites, trained citizen-soldiers with spears and shields who were almost always present on the battlefields of Archaic Greece.
