Day 23

Today in class we presented our projects. My part of the project consisted of "swords:​

Among Greek hoplites, the favored weapon was often the spear, used in conjunction with the shield. Yet every warrior also carried a sword, to act as a side-arm and replacement, should the spear be lost. And indeed, many Greek swords were every bit as deadly as the spear was. ​

Spears:​

Ancient Greek weapons and armor were primarily geared towards combat between individuals. Their primary technique was called the phalanx, a formation consisting of massed shield wall, which required heavy frontal armor and medium-ranged weapons such as spears."
