Ancient Greece

The Athenian expedition against Syracuse in Sicily.

Archimedes, who designed a machine that could be used to lift the Roman Triremes right out of the water, from within the City's walls.

The low lying mountain ranges of Greece separated the land into individual communities (Polis) that were virtually isolated from one another because there were no navigable river connecting them. This led to a very personal government which was conducive to the formation of democracy. Also, the small size and poor soil quality of the land did not allow the city states to support large populations, which led to a mass wave of colonization. Because the climate throughout the Greek area was the same, Greek colonists could spread throughout the countryside without having to significantly change their way of life, resulting in the spread of Hellenistic culture. Colonization also instilled a strong feeling of individualism and Humanism, which also led to the rise of democracy in Greece. (Information from the text book, Earth and Its Peoples).

The citizens of military age (18-45) of the Greek city-states were eligible for call-up for specific military activities and were required to assemble periodically for training. Those who had a panoply of arms (shield, helmet, greaves, cuirass, spear and sword) formed the infantry formation, those who owned a horse (rare for such a poor country) formed the cavalry, and those who had no arms/property were coopted as light infantry with bows, javelins and rocks. When their city was directly threatened, the boys and old men were also expected to turn out. Resident aliens were also required to help defence of the city (and expected to fight well), but were not required for exeditionary forces. The city would usually send only about three quarters of its main forces to fight outside its territory, the remainder being required to garrison the city in their absence. In Sparta, expeditionary forces took seven serfs to each hoplite (armoured warrior) to reduce the chance of a serf uprising in their absence - these serfs were used in the field as servants and light infantry.

Ajax was a mythological Greek hero, the son of Telamon and Periboea and king of Salamis[1]. He plays an important role in Homer's Iliad and in the Epic Cycle, a series of epic poems about the Trojan War. To distinguish him from Ajax, son of Oileus (Ajax the Lesser), he is called "Telamonian Ajax," "Greater Ajax," or "Ajax the Great". In Etruscan mythology, he is known as Aivas Tlamunus.
