Spartans typically used a Bronze cuirass, Greaves, and a "Corinthian" style helmet, which was thought to strike fear in their enemies. They also used a large shield called a Hoplon.

Hoplon was actually name of all arms and armor.Aspis is the name of shield.additional armor could be thigh armor,shoulder and forearm guards,foot guard and relatively small plate as groin guard.

Striking fear into enemies applies only to Persian army,since all Greeks at the time used Corinthian style helmets.

What else can I help you with?

What armor did athenian and Spartans wear?

It very much depends on time or century you are talking about.In the most glorious times the Spartans used bronze armor,with helmet,breastplate,greaves,and most importantly shield.And additional armor was thigh armor,shoulder,lower arm,groin plate,foot armor...The Athenians would use the same armor types,only probably in less numbers because they,unlike Spartans,had to provide themselves with the whole panoplia/armor set.And it was expensive..So in Athens a new,light,linen and leather armor appeared around the end of 6th century BC.It was cheaper and served good enough.We don't have any proof Spartans ever used this type.

They didn't, the armour was made by slaves, called helots. Spartans didn't have time to make armour because they were always busy either fighting in a war or training for a war.
