Phalanx
- Used in the battle of Marathon around 500 B.C.
- One major downside to the phalanx is it's use against cavalry
- The horses in the cavalry could quickly ride around the phalanx and attack the weak side
- Athenians used mountains and natural habitat to protect the weak side
Naval Warfare

- Shipped grain and food into city
- Used ships called trireme
- Fought by ramming and boarding enemy ships
- Major naval force
