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.

What armor did foot soldiers use in the middle ages?
Today, when we think of armor, we tend to think of the plate armor used by mounted knights in the High Middle Ages. Most medieval armor was not of this type. The primary armor of foot soldiers was shields, which were usually made of wood and leather, often with an iron or brass boss in the middle to give extra protection to the hand holding it. These were of a number of different designs and ranged in size from rather small to very large. The Anglo Saxons used large shields, interlocked to form a sort of wall, very effectively against the Danes and Vikings. Depending on the time, place, the wealthier foot soldiers often had helmets. A food soldier was likely to use chain mail, which was small rings of iron linked together like a chain, but in two dimensions. It was shaped to the body, and was very heavy. Another approach to body armor was to have a heavy cloth or leather with plates of iron embedded or riveted on. In the Late Middle Ages it became evident to many people that the time of the mounted knight was over, because improvements in archery, such as the English long bow, made it possible to penetrate armor with arrows at great distance. The problem was that if the knights could reach the archers, they could be very destructive. This problem was solved by protecting the archers with massed pikes, carried by foot soldiers. Interestingly, the best armor for these foot soldiers was very similar to that of the knight, and so the knights began to ride to battle on their horses, and then dismount and protect the archers on foot. So there were times when the foot soldiers' armor was very similar to the knights'.

What weapons did a medieval foot soldier use?
The morning star was a spiked ball attached to a chain attached to a stick or hand piece, this weapon was used to knock a soldier off his horse and usually the morning star alone didn't kill them but do a good amount of damage to their armor and could give concussion. The crossbow was easier for uneducated soldiers to learn, but took a while to load and not as accurate as the long bow, famously used by the skilled Welsh soldiers. Sending many arrows at a high arch increased the chances of hitting their target. The bill hook was adapted from a farming tool, it was a pointed piece of sharp metal on a long stick that soldiers fought one on one with in the bloodiest battles, either on foot or horse back. Many weapons as the morning star and bill hook just knocked the soldier off their horses and the dagger was used to finish a wounded or confused soldier off. (All soldier had daggers but only knights had swords.)
