how many hoplites were in the athenian force

Sagot :

Answer: Citizens were precious. We know that Athens, for example, was able to put eight thousand men into the field for Plataia in 479 (Hdt., IX, 28), with perhaps one thousand more at Marathon in 490, but she still had only thirteen thousand hoplites in 431 (Thuc, II, 13).
