The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon

All the people on the page are members of The Hoplite Association - we are, effectively, the only re-enactors of Ancient Greece in the UK. The man with the Spartan kit is Steve Senior (that's his name, although it also accurately describes his age!), a very dedicated re-enactor who has spent a lot of cash and effort on his kit and is studying Classical Greek. You will be meeting him, and all the others, at Watford, Stefanos.

I look forward to meet them.
I hope they do not become dissappointed when I start explain heraldry to them.
Steve seems was intenting to make a Spartan but he recreated a Theban noble - a Spartos (!!!) very accuratelly!
SPARTOS = indigenous in a land
Yellow or Golden snake = Argos
Red snake (writhing) = Thebes - Beotoia
Black snake (with acircle) = Sparta-Lakonia
Snake Head (only) = Faestos - Crete
Black-Res snake = Macedonian Dynasty.
Kind regards
Stefanos

I'm sorry, I confused the issue. The chap with the red snake on his shield is Paul; he's not trying to be a Spartan. Steve is the one with the bronze-coloured shield with the red lambda on it; HE'S the Lacedaemonian.
No! This is "Dreadlock" Paul, another member of The Hoplite Association. You can see a picture of me on the website <www.hoplites.org> on the Activities page. My hair is shorter.

Well you have both started to learn and in Greece we say
I ARCHI EINAI TO IMISI TOY PANTOS =
Starting is 50% of everything.
After all we had 4500 years to work on the language.
(6000 yrs if they agree on the translation of Linear A!!!)
It might worth to check the Greek language thread.
Kind regards

Remarks by Philip on the Athenian Leaders:
Philip said that the Athenians were like the bust of Hermes: all mouth and dick.

Meantime, everybody turn out your pockets, look under the carpet and down the back of the settee - we may yet find more.... 
I don't think there are many at this end of Yorkshire....too damn cold I suppose (it snowed today) and there is no room behind my settee for one to hide.....worse luck
lol:
Strange really, you go out and buy an old Ford Escort and you will suddenly notice how many are still on the roads....... 8)
