Rm template edit
Wikisource deals with complete texts, not extracts. For that reason I am removing the tempate. billinghurst sDrewth 14:21, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
MILHIST assessment edit
This article is a good start on the subject but suffers from a number of issues, as tagged on the article page. In particular, it needs work on referencing. This is not exactly a subject lacking in modern interpretations and this should be reflected in the text. The works of Victor Davis Hanson or Hans van Wees on Greek warfare would be a good place to start. Wikilinking also seems to have been abandoned after the first couple of sections.Monstrelet (talk) 08:24, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't see these notes but did you include the issues of training and recruitment? was it all volunteer or was there conscription? Thanks

Article Name edit
Shouldn't the name be "Athenian miltary" instead? Army is only on land, but this article includes the navy. I'm going to change it.WiHkibew (talk) 05:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Removed sentence edit
I cut this from the article "These people in the Athenian Military often fought with swords covered in the hair of dogs." It doesn't seem to have a source but seemed specific enought that I didn't want to delete it outright.Yojimbo1941 (talk) 18:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Equipment of the hoplites. edit
I haven't read the linked book yet, but I frankly doubt that hoplites in the Ancient Athenian Army we're equipped with M16 and Glock-17. Still I'm gonna remove it either way Eemmssii (talk) 06:32, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
