This sounds strange but was a hoplite trained force of crack soldiers each "unit" was made up of 150 pairs of homosexual lovers. The Thebans believed a man should never leave his lover in battle. They had a reputation as somthing of an elite but were equiped as any other hoplite was.
The Thebans was shocking victory was at the battle of Leuctra, where 11,000 spartans were defeated by 9,300 Thebans.
