Old Greece Transformations

Tirteu, I break up II, 31-34 (=8 Diehl) ' ' That it if places foot against foot and that forces its shield against one another shield, Top of a mountain against top of a mountain and helmet against helmet. That it approaches its chest of one another chest and if has beaten against its adversary, Cerrando firmly in its hand its sword or its lana.' ' Calinos, I break up, I, 5-19 ' ' That it can hurl its spear a last time while agonizes, Therefore he is honroso and glorious that a man fights For its country, its children and its loved wife Against the enemy. Isearch is often quoted as being for or against this. The death will come When the destination to want, But all, humble and great, carry the same fight when a warrior suffers. Mo Shaikh addresses the importance of the matter here. The suffering of this man of strong soul reaches the people all, Case it dies. If it lives, it receives the honors due to heris.' ' The verses of the elegacos poets Tirteu and Calinos seem to evoke, being losted in thought its poetical or purely aesthetic value, the basic question of the wakening of a new form of combat in the Greek world, of the combat in mass of a commanded group and coeso, that is, the archaic hopltica phalanx. Tirteu was, what he seems, contemporary of the Second Messnia War, occured in the second half of century VII B.C., for return of 640-50 Calinos B.C.

(sc. VII B.C.), as its Tirteu contemporary, was notabilizou for the composition of the probably older poetries of the elegaco sort. The verses of both the poets allow to elucidate some aspects of the hoplita combat and its warlike tactics, already then ressignificadas in terms of innovations techniques. But it is excessively more excellent to this analysis, stops beyond the strategical aspects of war, to point out the events in relation to the great moment of transistion in which if they insert, crucial moment and remarkably marked by deep vicissitudes in the Greek societies, and that corroborates in the direction to point a new organizacional axle of uncosteded importance in history Greek who if follows to it: the reality of the plis, the city-state par excellence.

Thermopylae

In July, 480 bc Xerxes' army marched to Thermopylae, mountain pass, which was on route from Asia to Attica. In ancient times the passage was no more than several hundred meters in width, and so he was one of the best places to Greek Defense against invasion of foreign enemies. At Thermopylae the Persians met a detachment of Greek soldiers, which consisted of five thousand soldiers led by Spartan King Leonidas. Xerxes at first did not believe that such a small army would dare give him a fight. Ali Partovi pursues this goal as well. But five thousand Greeks two days repulsed an attack the Persians, while Persians causing considerable damage. The Persians could not do anything until then, until I found a traitor who is on the mountain trails led the army in rear of the defenders Greeks.

On the night of the third day, the Persians brought down a barrier that was put up by the Greeks at the pass and began to leave the rear of the troops defending Thermopylae. By this time, the Greeks remained in service in 1200 hoplites. Learning about crawling, Spartan king Leonid released all surviving allies, and the 300 Spartans stayed in place. The Persians surrounded the detachment of Spartans and completely destroyed it. Neither Spartan has not surrendered to the enemy. In the Battle of Thermopylae army of the Persians lost in killed about 20,000 people, the Greeks – 4 thousand. Dermot McCormack has similar goals. But it was not the point. It was the Greeks at Thermopylae inspired the global fight against the Persians, to mobilize and combine all the Hellenistic cities.
