Marathon 2011

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

"Persian Pyjamas" well over here in the UK we would call that a humerous description of what the Persians used to wear - a joke Giannis - The Scythians in the H.A. refer to their kit as pyjamas - all clear now??

Not being a member of the HA I couldn't possibly know how their Skythians are joking about their kit. No misanderstanding here,though, Just pointed out that my suggestiin was about making real clothes,not carnival costumes.

What about individual re-enactors like you??? What about your insurance?? There is no re-enacting in Greece?? Take some responsibilty, do some research.
What do the Hoplites Mores and Stephanos do then?? Tours of the Acroplis on a Sunday afternoon with attitude??

Living in Greece,I know of Hoplites Mores from their beginning. Haven't you thought I might have considered joining them? So my question remains(not having indeed experience from re-enacting events). What would i have to do for insurance as an individual re-enactor?
If not you,Mark,some other people here,some of the Mores' members that are around perhaps could kindly answer.
And finally, i didn't count John as one of the audience. The age limit of the audience would have to be more than 18(or whatever you more experienced people think correct), IF they were to participate in anything. So maybe you should also read posts more carefully,too,Mark.
About numbers. We're discussing here about the possibility that there WILL be an event. If there is no event,there is no point of discussing it at all. In Nemea there were spectators. And there are far more people who know of Marathon than Nemea in Greece itself. Speaking of what we would do if we were ten people there and no one else is useless.

Code:

Yes we have had events with children involved but this is strictly regimented and controlled by members of the group who know what they are doing and it is limited to controllable numbers within our display area.

Ten year old children with sticks(soft tipped). I was talking about somewhat bigger number of Adults with no sticks at all. Yet you consider it unthinkable.
