Hoplites, the heavily armed foot soldiers of ancient Greece, primarily consumed a diet consisting of grains, vegetables, legumes, and fruits, often supplemented with fish and occasionally meat. Bread, porridge, and barley were staples, while olives and cheese provided important fats and proteins. Their diet varied based on social status and access to resources, with wealthier individuals enjoying a broader range of foods. Additionally, communal feasting and sharing meals were common practices among hoplite warriors.
