Description

Athenian soldiers, typically wearing blue, were not life-long soldiers as Sparta, but their navy was unmatched, and their hoplites were as brave as Sparta's when needed. Athenian soldiers were the powerhouse of the naval victories during the Greco-Persian Wars, as well as the battles of Marathon, Plataea, and finally at Mycale.
