Greek Hoplite Presentation at Ellis Library 10-10-2016
This was a Greek Hoplite demonstration I presented for the University of Missouri at Ellis Library on 10-10-2016 for a program called "Life and Letters in the Ancient Mediterranean."
*please note, no bows were damaged, exploded, or broken during this lecture. These bows are used for theatrical purposes only during lecture to juxtapose the weapons of the Greeks from their Asiatic opponents. The bow has been "dry fired" in every presentation for years and still functions perfectly. I am not an archer and this is not meant to be an archery clinic or teach proper archery etiquette. The audible "twang" from the bow is for audience spectacle. Furthermore, the ancient sources claim 400 meters as the range of Persian archers. it is recognized that these sources may have been exaggerated as numbers often are in ancient sources (i.e. Xerxes having a million man army, arrows that would blot out the sun, drinking a river dry, etc.)
