6. The Greek “Renaissance” – Colonization and Tyranny

Introduction to Ancient Greek History (CLCV 205) In this lecture, Professor Donald Kagan discusses the emergence of a new style of warfare among the Greeks, the hoplite phalanx. After discussing the panoply of the hoplite solider and the method of fighting, he argues that this style of fighting came about early in the life of the polis. In addition, he shows that the phalanx was almost invincible on the field. At the lecture’s conclusion, he answers several questions from students about hoplite warfare in the Greek world. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: open.yale.edu This course was recorded in Fall 2007.
