Mountanous Skiritis was hard to subjugate so smart Doreans strike a deal to offer citizenship. Therefore those who took the obligations too and followed the "agogi" took "homioi" status. They appear sporting the white hawk on a black background on their shields in archaic pottery. Some of them fought in loose order and the later specialized as raiders and scouts.
Lakoo - Yllakoo - scream like a hawk
Lakonia - land of the Hawks
Same trick was used with the coastal Messinians
Kind regards
