Hoplite swords
Two points about the swords hoplites used: 1. Of course they varied, but they were generally not small things; 2. The way they are depicted as suspended is unlikely to be accurate, and I have a couple of tentative theories about how they might have been drawn (to be honest, the second one doesn't convince even me).
