Hi everyone!
This may fit better into the re-enactment section but I have posted it here as it is more likely to be seen by re-enactors of Greek hoplite groups.
I would be interested to get some sort of idea about how the different Hoplite groups around the world display, specifically with the use of weapons. Does your group use sharp weapons, for authenticity, and parade drill etc. (like many roman legionary groups) or do you use blunt weapons and re-enact combat (like most medieval groups I know)? Or do you do something completely different? The idea came to me after seeing some impressive videos from Athenea Prómakhos…
