Do NOT use… the web address to cite a website. Do NOT write this down – King Arthur was a ruler who was respected by all and always followed the rules of chivalry. “Direct quote” (www.brittania.com/kings.html). If King Arthur saw someone in need, he helped that person, regardless of their status. I should NEVER see a web address within the text of your essay.

The weaponry used in the Iliad closely matches what was actually used in combat by Greek soldiers. In the fight between Achilles and Hector, they used a variety of close combat weapons. They began by throwing a long spear at one another, which consisted of a long wooden shaft with a “bronze shank,” (Homer 72). So, like much of their armor, the heads of their spears were also made of bronze. Not only were spears used in this battle, but swords as well. “With this he drew the whetted blade that hung upon his left flank, ponderous and long,” (Homer 73). These epic heroes used both long spears and swords in battle. The spears were most often used for fighting an opponent at a distance, and the swords were later used for battle when the enemy was in closer proximity. However, these were not the only weapons used by ancient Greek soldiers. “Greek weaponry and armor underwent a continuous evolution in design from the Bronze Age to the Byzantine period. The arms with which the individual foot soldier was normally equipped included various combinations of swords, spears, javelins, bows and arrows, and sling-propelled pellets,” (Hanssen). Over time, their weaponry became more and more advanced including catapults and other long-range weapons. As far as the basic weaponry of the Greeks, Homer described it very accurately. Fighting in battles on a daily basis naturally led to many deaths; the Greeks and Trojans were very specific about burial traditions for fallen soldiers.
