Homerdescribes recent 41 day war. Author of "The Iliad" enthusiastically wrote not only aboutAchilles and Patroclus aheytsiv, but also their enemies, the Trojans - the king Priam and warrior Hector. Demigod Achilles after nine yearsrefused to continue fighting the war and transferred his armor nearfriend Patroclus, who headed aheytsiv and led them to attack Troy.

But he lived long after that: poisonousarrow brother Hector - ParisDirected by GodApollo, caught it.

2. Ancient Greek society

Doriantribes who conquered Greece, lived in small communities generic. Supervisedcommunity life of its members elected governor - basylevs. Combining several families called phratry. Sometimes manyDorian families united in fily. Frompoems of Homer shows that at this time there was a wealthy elite kind - aristocracy,who owned many lands, passed by inheritance. Gradually fily united, and these associations were the basis forlater of small city-states - policies.

Centerspolicies were restored Dorians cities, which were located around smallsettlement of agricultural lands.

Incity-states for periods of war or danger of economic hardship amonginfluential citizens elected governor with special powers. He hadright alone to decide all matters related to city life. Suchrulers called tyrants.

Abecause the power of contemporary society has rested on the labor congregation, the tyrantstried to improve their lives by promoting the development of agriculture, crafts,trade.

And worse thanpeasants, congregation, lived slaves. they were used for hard labor in the homehousehold or they pastured cattle, work in the fields. Homer told that the housein the Odyssey were 50 slaves. Slaves were mostly prisoners of war andas peasants, debtors.

Everyday life basylevsiv, With descriptions of Homer, was very simple. Basylevsy, Although they were slaves, they plowed the same ground. and theirwife up in wisdom spun, washed clothes next to the servants and slaves. The rulers themselvesmanufactured items and weapons.

Differencesposition in ordinary congregation and basylevsiv andaristocrats clearly seen in the military of ancient Greece. Basylevsy and aristocrats fought on the battle chariots. theirsupported the infantry in combat lehkoozbroyeni which were usually simplecongregation. Infantry weapons were mostly spears with bronze or ironedge. Description them often in the "Iliad". Spears served as for throwing,and to defeat the enemy at close range. Homer wrote that AchillesHector is killed by these weapons, and the length of the spear Hector reached5.5 m.

FormidableArms were swords, sharpened on both sides. The Warriors then had two panelstypes: one high, which completely covered the warrior, the other smallerround. Shields made of leather bulls and strengthened bronze plates.
