Very old Greek warriors became the premier warriors of their classical world. Through intense internal war fighting, they perfected heavy infantry strategies, and when they were united, they were able to defeat a (sudden, unwanted entry into a place) by Persia, the super-power of their day. The heavily outnumbered Greek warriors, called hoplites, used superior strategies, training and arms to defeat two huge (sudden, unwanted entries into places). However, the Greeks returned to their constant war fighting once their common enemy was defeated. Philip of Hellenized Macedonia, king of what the Greeks thought about/believed a (dangerous, wild person) kingdom to their north, learned and even improved the Greek's group of (possibly armed) people

Each warrior fought for personal glory instead of in an organized (creation and construction/ group of objects). Fights usually started with mean, teasing statements and loud insults, followed by duels between champions. If neither side lost its nerve, a general fight would begin. Very old Greek warriors had already started to wear big (and awkward), but effective, (protective metal or other covering), and deaths were usually light during the fight. Men fought armed mostly with spears and short swords, and the Greek warriors had already jumped ahead of their (other people of about the same age) in the use of shields and (protective metal or other covering). They thought about/believed ranged weapons, like the bow, to be (in an embarrassingly scared way) and avoided them. Much like in later group of (possibly armed) people war fighting, the real destruction started when one side was routed. Escaping enemies could not make use of their shields and made excellent targets. Warrior kings like the semi-famous Agamemnon ruled from huge stone hill-top (large, very secure places), breaking into and making war for (money made/good thing received) and …show more content…
Over the next 400 years, the Greeks developed democracy, theater, poetry and (way of thinking/related to learning about how people think), as well as rediscovered written language. Some time before 650 BC, they developed the group of (possibly armed) people, and their warriors and war fighting itself began to change also. War fighting in Greece had always been commanded (or spoke so someone copied down what was said) by the land; the rough ground was no good for (two-wheeled, horse-drawn vehicles). In earlier times when their (other people of about the same age) developed (two-wheeled, horse-drawn vehicle) war fighting, Greek warriors concentrated on heavy infantry. Besides Thessaly, the Greeks also not paid attention to the development of cavalry in their military. However, their concentration on heavy infantry would pay off in the power of their hoplite warriors and group of (possibly armed) people (creation and construction/ group of
