Hail Caesar Greeks - Greek Command
Greek hoplite commanders were the leaders of heavily armed infantry soldiers known as hoplites in ancient Greece, particularly during the Classical period (5th to 4th centuries BCE). These commanders were often chosen from among the aristocracy or experienced warriors and were responsible for the strategic planning and tactical execution of battles. Hoplite commanders led their troops in the phalanx formation, a tightly packed and disciplined line of soldiers equipped with spears, shields, and armor.
Prominent hoplite commanders, such as Miltiades at the Battle of Marathon and Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae, demonstrated exceptional leadership and bravery. Their ability to maintain order and morale within the phalanx was crucial for the success of Greek city-states in warfare. These commanders played a vital role in the defense and expansion of their city-states, shaping the course of Greek military history through their leadership and tactical prowess.
Adding more presence and variety to the frontline of your hoplite phalanx, these three Greek commanders will add steely discipline to your troops as they face down their enemies up close and personal.
