I was wondering what exactly the Greek hoplite panoply consisted of? Also, what sword would a Spartan hoplite use? The xiphos or the makhaira? I assume the former, though the History Channel documentary depicts them with the latter(If my eyes do not deceive me... See the "reenactment" parts of part two)?
Thank you!
Thank you!

"The enemy outnumber us a paltry three to one! Good odds for any Greek!"
