Hoplite was an armoured warrior. A light infantryman was a Peltast.
A Greek hoplite was a heavy infantryman. He wore a bronze armour and a bronze helmet. He used a round shield called hoplon. The shield was round so that soldiers in the same line could interlock with each other, making them better able to hold their line. The hoplite phalanx was a revolutionary tactical system when it was introduced The phalanx was a deep formation with up to eight lines. The armour offered the soldiers better protection, but reduced agility and speed. To make the system effective soldiers had to be able to hold their formation tight when attacked. If they did this, an attacking phalanx would be so compact that it became like a crash force.
A hoplite was a citizen-soldier of the Ancient Greek city-states.

In ancient Greece, the hoplite provided a solid military unit and organization of Greek citizens. Any male old enough and strong enough to wield a spear and a shield could be trained to be a member of a hoplite. In war time, males would be trained as militia hoplites that could defend their home town or city if under external invasion. As a military unit, hoplites were the backbone of ancient Greek armies. A hoplite provided provided an organized unit that was capable of taking on armies much larger than the hoplite. The standard weapon of the hoplite was a long spear that could extend over the shields of the men in the first two rows of the hoplite, although each man was equipped with a sword as a secondary weapon. Hoplite soldiers were also heavily armored (for the time), and had large shields that could be used as protection. The theory behind the hoplite was that a physical wall would be presented to the enemy with long spears for attack. The first row of men would be used to hold the enemy back, while the second and third rows could stab over the first row and attack the enemy. Because there were multiple rows in a hoplite, the strength of each man was multiplied because of the support that those behind them could lend. Also, in such close quarters, men were able to work in more cohesive actions, thus saving men's lives and providing a more efficient unit. Hoplites won battles through sheer attrition.

Hoplite
A classical Greek warrior was called a Hoplite.The main weapon of the hoplite was a spear called a dory. It was about 8 feet long with a metal spear tip and a smaller point on the bottom called a 'lizard stabber'. The reason for the 'lizard stabber' was so the hoplite could stick the spear into the ground. It could also be used in an emergency if the shaft of the spear was broken so the hoplite could use the 'lizard stabber' end as a weapon.Most hoplites also carried a sword. There were different types but the most common were the xiphos which was a straight sword with a leaf shaped blade or the makhaira which had a curved blade and looked a lot like a machete.
