What are the differences between ancient Greece and modern Greece?

Answer 1

Well, For a start, They used weapons such as Spears and short swords and wore heavy metal plate armor, and hoplom shields (A large round shield)

The wars of ancient Greece were fought out with hundreds or thousands of men, both a foot and on mounts, against other large armies, N.B Most armies of these eras did not have females in them.

The hopolites, whom I mentioned earlier would form a large phalanx, Where the link shields and create an impregnible barrier of shields.

And the Cavarly used swift stratigic agility to sley its enemies.

Another major difference is that our wars are fought from a far, where as in ancient Greece, it was blood splattering and blades swinging from only metres away.

Another Difference is wars back then were fought in waves.

Unlike ars now, A battle would not just be charging in a fighting till death, as many believe, but a unit will charge then retreat then charge then retreat, This gives them the advantage of the charge several times.

Another difference is wars back then included blood curliong sieges, Where an army surrounds a city stopping anything getting in our out, and this slowly straved the enemy and gave them disease.

So to cover your question in one sentence. "The main difference of wars now and ancient Greece, is that back then it was a much more physical scary gruesome scenario."
