A peltast (Greek: πελταστής peltastes) was a type of light infantryman, originating in Thrace and Paeonia, and named after the kind of shield he carried. Thucydides mentions the Thracian peltasts, while Xenophon in the Anabasis distinguishes the Thracian and Greek peltast troops. The peltast often served as a skirmisher in Hellenic and Hellenistic armies. In the Medieval period, the same term was used for a type of Byzantine infantryman. | |||

Пельтасты (др.-греч. πελταστής) — разновидность лёгкой пехоты в Древней Греции, часто использовались как застрельщики, метавшие дротики. Получили наименование по названию щита — пелта; в сражениях, как правило, играли вспомогательную роль, но известны случаи (Битва при Лехее), когда при численном превосходстве разбивали фалангу, лишённую прикрытия из конницы и лёгкой пехоты. | |||
