No, an oarsman is not the meaning of hoplites. Hoplites were ancient Greek soldiers known for their heavy infantry tactics and distinctive armor, including a shield (hoplon) and spear. They fought in a phalanx formation, emphasizing close combat and teamwork. In contrast, oarsmen refer to rowers, typically associated with naval vessels rather than land-based military roles.
