Re: You kidding? This is the gayest film ever.

A generation or so after The Persian War the Spartans discarded all body armor except a small pot helmet; evidently they figured the large shield was sufficient protection and that lightening the soldier's load gave more stamina for the push, also more flexibility in fighting light infantry armed with missle weapons.

The other Greeks seem to have followed suit. Then about a generation later armor made a comeback.
