Greek bows

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Of course the greeks used bows. The simple bow is being represented from mycenean to classical times. In the 5th century the skythian recurve bow is shown as frequently or more frequently than the simple bow,used also by hoplites (meaning soldiers dressed like hoplites without a shield).
The Cretans became famous archers since the archaic times and till the roman times. They are believd to have been using the recurve bow. Some believe than in later times they also used a small shield,but i don't know the evidence for this.
