History:
Greek hoplites were heavily armed citizen-soldiers famous for their phalanx formations. However, many fought more lightly armed due to economic or tactical reasons, especially as warfare evolved with the increased use of skirmishers and missile troops. These hoplites balanced protection with mobility, wielding spears and swords with skill and discipline. Supported by archers, they formed versatile forces that shaped ancient Greek military history. This set captures that balance between heavy infantry and nimble warriors with historical accuracy and excellent detail.
