Hoplites (HOP-lytes) (Ancient Greek: ὁπλίτης) were citizen-soldiers of Ancient Greek city-states who were primarily armed with spears and shields. Hoplite soldiers utilized the phalanx formation to be effective in war with fewer soldiers. The formation discouraged the soldiers from acting alone, for this would compromise the formation and minimize its strengths. The hoplites were primarily represented by free citizens - propertied farmers and artisans - who were able to afford the bronze armour suit and weapons (estimated at a third to a half of its able-bodied adult male population). Hoplites were not professional soldiers and often lacked sufficient military training. Some states maintained a small elite professional unit, known as the epilektoi ("chosen") since they were picked from the regular citizen infantry. These existed at times in Athens, Argos, Thebes, and Syracuse, among others. Hoplite soldiers made up the bulk of ancient Greek armies. | |wketx=Hoplites (HOP-lytes) (Ancient Greek: ὁπλίτης) were citizen-soldiers of Ancient Greek city-states who were primarily armed with spears and shields.

In the 8th or 7th century BC, Greek armies adopted the phalanx formation. The formation proved successful in defeating the Persians when employed by the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC during the First Greco-Persian War. The Persian archers and light troops who fought in the Battle of Marathon failed because their bows were too weak for their arrows to penetrate the wall of Greek shields that comprised the phalanx formation. The phalanx was also employed by the Greeks at the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC and at the Battle of Plataea in 479 BC during the Second Greco-Persian War. | In the 8th or 7th century BC, Greek armies adopted the phalanx formation.

The word hoplite (Greek: ὁπλίτης hoplitēs; pl. ὁπλῖται hoplitai) derives from hoplon (ὅπλον, plural hopla ὅπλα), the name for the type of shield used by the soldiers. The shield was more commonly known as an aspis, so the word hopla may refer to the soldiers' weapons or even their full armament. In the modern Hellenic Army, the word hoplite (Greek: oπλίτης) is used to refer to an infantryman. | The word hoplite (Greek: ὁπλίτης hoplitēs; pl. ὁπλῖται hoplitai) derives from hoplon (ὅπλον, plural hopla ὅπλα), the name for the type of shield used by the soldiers.

Ο οπλίτης στην αρχαιότητα, ο στρατιώτης δηλαδή του πεζικού με βαρύ οπλισμό που πολεμούσε σε σχηματισμό φάλαγγας, ήταν ο κατεξοχήν πολεμιστής της κλασικής Ελλάδας. Ήταν βαριά οπλισμένος με δόρυ, θώρακα και μεγάλη ασπίδα. Το όνομα οπλίτης (ὁπλίτης) προέρχεται από την ονομασία της μεγάλης στρογγυλής ασπίδας (ὅπλον). | Ο οπλίτης στην αρχαιότητα, ο στρατιώτης δηλαδή του πεζικού με βαρύ οπλισμό που πολεμούσε σε σχηματισμό φάλαγγας, ήταν ο κατεξοχήν πολεμιστής της κλασικής Ελλάδας.
