3.37 Agamemnon gathered the reluctant Greek forces to sail for Troy. Preparing to depart from Aulis, which was a port in Boeotia, Agamemnon's army incurred the wrath of the goddess Artemis.Finally, the prophet Calchas announced that the wrath of the goddess could only be propitiated by the sacrifice of Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia. Agamemnon did eventually sacrifice Iphigenia. Her death appeased Artemis, and the Greek army set out for Troy.

Hallo iliostefano,

They are Spartans warriors from 6 cent ury BC hunting.

[iliostefano]

my frend whu was the warrior at 0.41?

[Stephennnc13]

Spartans did wear red capes in battle, just like the ultimate first aid kit haha. they also used the capes as robes in sparta, so they actually DID have capes AND SPartans is just saying "people of sparta"

im sure sparta had other military divisions too, because they invented most of the tactical formations the military uses today

[000majorwinters000]

"And then the hoplites lay their helms down... and started to throw their heads to and fro to their psychadelic music."

[robelwell88]

LMFAO!!!

[ptolemy1989]

does anyone know what the image from 4:31 to 4:36 is called?

[conncork]

It is from aan Athenian red figure cup (480 BC)by the Triptolemos painter and is showing Greeks fighting Persians. It is called the Edinburgh cup because it is in the Edinburgh, Royal Scottish Museum.

[ptolemy1989]

thanks

The Return Of Bob.

[SpartanHippeis]

The first image of a spartan hoplite is quite irregular. The helmet originates from a corinthian or chalcidian helmet, which is surely at least around the 5th century. Though they have a bronze cuirass. The leg and thigh additions are used between 8-7 century and weren't very popular. This hoplite seems very early but his helmet is quite late. Some of those images came from some of my books lol. Nice vid anyways.

[SpartanHippeis]

O and Spatans didnt wear capes in battle nor did they have shiny extravagent armor. No one did. Thier shields were chin to knee.

[petezilla2k]

Hello Spartan did have red capes they were given to them at the age of 7 to live in the wild all year round with no cloth nor anything on there feet. Also they wore red cape to hide there own wounds and there victam

[JohnTraviss]

However, they take them off before battle. Hoplite combat is stuffy enough, a cape would't do well in keeping cool.

[000majorwinters000]

Very interesting second fact you have there. I hadn't known it was to cover their wounds as well. I heard their cloaks were only replaced on days of battle, or perhaps yearly.

[Testosteron250]

@000majorwinters000 And if you think there were no detergents back then,color was made naturally as well as fabrics, what kind of "red" do you think it really was after so many use,and washing in river....Blood stain turns dark brown in matter of hours...so that theory about hiding wounds is funny

[000majorwinters000]

Are you certain of this? I read a book (not canonized history but a fiction supported by historians and scholars) about the the spartans at Thermopylae which stated that their armor was well-kept, polished, cleaned, etc. before battle so as to intimidate the enemy somewhat. I know Spartan culture is far from fashionable, but when it comes to war I think it only makes sense to use these means to intimidate the foe and seem more professional at the same time. Later on the greeks -

[000majorwinters000]

- at Thermopylae apparently covered their armor and shields especially, in the gore of the enemy to further this intimidation.

I've heard many say the spartans were masters of Phobos, if you take my meaning. They therefore cherished a complete state of aphobia when in battle, and sought to break their enemy's wills before the clash of battle began.

[DuvalNorway]

@000majorwinters000

Yes. Spartans placed a great deal on ''Phobos'' tactics.

There are recorded cases where battles didn't even start because of the sight of Lacaedomonian Banners forcing their enemies flee.

[Testosteron250]

@DuvalNorway i would be very happy to learn which cases where those, where did you learn "phobos" tactic (except Pressfield)..And do you mean "banners" like in flags??

[Testosteron250]

@000majorwinters000 You read Pressfield who writes fiction..good one,but still fiction

[000majorwinters000]

@Testosteron250 I understand this, and my only other knowledge on them is limited to being anecdotal or learned form a few osprey books I have on the Spartans.

[DuvalNorway]

@000majorwinters000

You are correct. Also they used to brash their hair before battle and let them long out of the helmet.

According to the Spartans if a man had long hair, was good.

If he was hansom, made him more, and if he was ugly made him more scary.

Anyway, they were minimalists in all cases, but in warfare they used to take the details to the limits.

[000majorwinters000]

@DuvalNorway I see, and I appreciate the replies. (:

[Testosteron250]

@000majorwinters000 Polishing has many stages,and high polish is overrated today, especially because ancient armor tend to be only 1.5-2.5-3 mm thick (breast and back plate) and polishing to a high shine would require constant polishing that strips of material...But don't see how anyone would be intimidated by that..Muscle,skill and formation intimidate,not cosmetics....Ancient world was not as simple and plain as we think

[Komnene777]

Oh! Yea! very accurate & nice song!
