hoplite
Ancient Greek warriors. The most notable were the ones from the city of Sparta.
The Spartan hoplites were famous for their muscular bound anatomy, top physical condition and size, as well as their agility and strength which was the result of the brutal training the soldiers endured for years since childhood.
These hoplites usually fought completely nude or with little or no clothes for more mobility and agility. They were protected with a bronze helmet designed to inspire fear and some minor leg armor also made of bronze.
They always carried a single bronze spear which was their main weapon, and a very large crimson red cape. The cape was colored that way to hide the stains of blood from battle and was used to cover the soldiers during cold weather, to conceal or protect their weapons, as a blanket for sleeping and eating as well as a stretcher when the user was wounded or to cover the dead.
