The 3. 00 Spartans. Since there aren't any extant archaeological finds that have been recovered from the battlefield of Thermopylae other than weapons (mostly arrowheads), any mention of what armor the Greek warriors may have wore during the iconic last stand may seem speculative. Therefore, in the course of our research we have either constructed or commissioned many of these individual components based on the images of the contemporaneous pottery/vases that have survived from the era. Two invaluable resources which we have consulted and that must be acknowledged are Victor Davis Hanson's The Western Way of War and A. M. Snodgrass' Arms and Armor of the Greeks. As a result of communication with teachers who have provided very insightful comments, we have developed a multimedia presentation which encourages a hands- on approach with students in the classroom, whether at the lower, middle or upper school level. It is this tangible characteristic which offers the student a different perspective on the warfare of the ancient Greeks which can not be extrapolated from the textbook alone. In addition, we have added materials (many of which are not reflected on the pages of the website) that have been compiled specifically to dispute much of what has been depicted in the aforementioned Warner Bros.

The superiority of Greek equipment must have been an important factor here and elsewhere, and at times perhaps a decisive one."Anthony M. Snodgrass from 'Arms and Armor of the Greeks'The official armorers of 'The Hellenic Warriors'/a. The Warriors of Thermopylae'.
