Kallimachos (Callimachus), Athenian polemarch
Kallimachos of Aphidna (before 520–490 bce ) was the Athenian archon polemarch killed in the battle of Marathon.
Fighting by the Rules
This examination of the unwritten rules of Greek warfare suggests that the ideology of hoplite warfare as a ritualized contest developed not in the 7th century, but only after480, when nonhoplite arms began to be excluded from the phalanx. Regular claims of victory, in the form of battlefield trophies, and concessions of defeat, in the form of requests for the retrieval of corpses, appeared in the 460s. Other 5th-century changes in military pract…
The Battle of Marathon
How did the city-state of Athens defeat the invaders from Persia, the first world empire, on the plain of Marathon in 490 BCE? Clever scholars skeptical of our earliest surviving source, Herodotus, have produced one ingenious theory after another. In this stimulating new book, bound to provoke controversy, Peter Krentz argues that Herodotus was right after all. Beginning his analysis with the Athenians’ first formal contact with the Persians in 5…
Hoplite Hell
This chapter takes aim at Victor Davis Hanson's The Western Way of War and its highly influential and popular conception of how hoplites fought. It critiques the orthodox view—especially the version of Hanson—concerning the actual weight of the hoplite panoply, which the chapter argues was far lighter than the traditional estimate of about seventy pounds. The chapter proposes a different interpretation of the various stages of hoplite battle, suc…
Miltiades
Miltiades (ca. 550–489 bce ), son of Kimon, a prominent Athenian aristocrat, spent several decades ruling the Thracian Chersonese (Gallipoli) Peninsula before returning to Athens, to lead the Athenians against the Persians at Marathon in 490. Herodotus tells his story in several places, not always in chronological order (6.34–41, 103–111, 132–140).
Marathon, battle of
In 490 bce the Athenians and the Plataians defeated the Persians at Marathon, a plain on the northeast coast of Attica. The Persian expedition had six hundred triremes, cavalry, and eighteen to twenty‐four thousand infantry archers. Under the command of Datis the Mede, the Persians took Naxos, the other Cyclades Islands, and Eretria. The Athenians sent perhaps fifteen or sixteen thousand men to meet them at Marathon. No more than one thousand Pla…
Hoplites
Hoplites were heavily armed Greek infantrymen named after their equipment.
Kallimachos, Athenian polemarch
Kallimachos of Aphidna (before 520–490 bce ) was the Athenian polemarchos at the battle of marathon, where he died.
A Cup By Douris And The Battle Of Marathon
The interior of a cup by Douris in Baltimore, painted in the early fifth century BCE, shows two beardless warriors. The warriors on the Douris cup must certainly be Amazons given their long hair, the Eastern-looking shield device, their similarity to the figures on the Hamburg cup, and the possibility that the Arezzo krater influenced Douris and Onesimos, who both worked in Euphronios' workshop. If we were to ask simply about running hoplites, th…
The Athenian Treaty in Theopompos F 153
To which Athenian treaty does Theopompos F 153 refer? This paper reviews the four candidates proposed previously and then suggests and defends another possibility, the treaty mentioned by Herodotos 5.73. À quel traité d'Athènes le fragment 153 de Théopompe fait-il référence? Cet article examine les quatre propositions faites précédemment et suggère une nouvelle hypothèse: le traité mentionné par Hérodote en V, 73
Warfare and Hoplites
For most of the twentieth century, scholars believed that the Archaic period saw dramatic changes in Greek military practices, significant enough to merit the name “hoplite revolution” or at least “hoplite reform.” This revolution was thought to have had major social and political consequences, especially for the development of Greek democracy. In brief, the story went as follows. In Early Iron Age fighting, as described by Homer, aristocrats dom…
The Cambridge Companion to Archaic Greece
The Cambridge Companion to Archaic Greece provides a wide-ranging synthesis of history, society, and culture during the formative period of Ancient Greece, from the Age of Homer in the late eighth century to the Persian Wars of 490–480 BC. In ten clearly written and succinct chapters, leading scholars from around the English-speaking world treat all aspects of the civilization of Archaic Greece, from social, political, and military history to ear…
The Oath of Marathon, Not Plataia
An oath on a 4th-century B.C. stele from Acharnai has previously been identified as the Oath of Plataia, the oath taken by the Greeks before they fought the Persians at Plataia in 479. In this article the author identifies it as the Oath of Marathon, rather than as the Oath of Plataia, and suggests that Lykourgos's reference (1.80) to "the oath that was traditional among you [Athenians]" is to this Oath of Marathon

Hoplite Weapons and Offensive Arms
In his tactical manual Arrian distinguishes three kinds of signal useful in war: verbal orders, visual signals, and salpinx calls (Arr. Takt. 27; cf. Asklep. Takt. 12.10 and Aelian Takt. 35.2). Verbal orders are the clearest, but ‘the clash of arms, the exhortations shouted to one another, the cries of the wounded, the passing of the cavalry, the neighing of horses and the noise of the baggage-train’ can make them inaudible. Fog, dust, the sun’s …

Foreigners against the Thirty
IG 22 10 (EM 8147) IS ONE OF THE MOST intriguing inscriptions from classical Athens, and a good many scholars have already offered restorations.1 Two contiguous fragments from Aigina, added by Stamires and published by Hereward (EM 13103 a and b = SEG 12.84; Hereward also added a previously-published piece, IG 22 2403), provide enough new evidence to justify reexamination of the whole; Hereward's reconstruction of the stele is not, it seems to me…
War
An Attic inscription from the early Peloponnesian War records an expedition of thirty triremes, each with five volunteer marines, forty hoplites, ten archers and ten peltasts. Fleets mentioned in Thucydides often averaged more than thirty soldiers per ship, and in fact most of the land battles in the Peloponnesian War were fought against invaders who came by sea. This chapter treats land and sea campaigns in parallel. On campaign Greeks took thei…

The second part of the Hellenika, covering the decade after the end of the Peloponnesian War, is Xenophon at his best. It unfolds in a series of discrete, often dramatic, episodes: The Thirty at Athens, the campaigns of Thibron and Derkylidas in Asia Minor, the Spartan War against Elis, the accession of King Agesilaos, the conspiracy of Kinadon, the campaigns of Agesilaos in Asia Minor, the outbreak of war against Sparta in Greece, and Agesilaos'…
