Their light infantry used bows, javelins, knives and rocks, and were unarmored.
How long is a spartan spear?
That really depends what kind of spear you mean. In the 7th century BC, the Greeks evolved a new close-order infantry formation, the phalanx. The key to this formation was the hoplite, who was equipped with a large, circular, bronze-faced shield (hoplon) and a 7--9 ft. (2--2.75 m) spear with an iron head and bronze butt-spike (doru).The 4th century saw major changes. One was the greater use of peltasts, light infantry armed with spear and javelins. The other was the development of the sarissa, a two-handed pike 18 ft. (5.5 m) in length.The Macedonian xyston was 12--14 ft. (3.6--4.2 m) in length and could be used with one or both hands.I found all this on Wikipedia, and there is much more information there, but I'm just filling you in on the basics.
