The Hoplitodromos "Race of the Hoplites" Ancient Olympics
by Tom Lovell
The first Olympic games were a one-day, one-competition event. The event was a footrace, and the event was held in Olympia, Greece, in 776 BC. The games were held roughly every four years until AD 393. One of the ancient events was the "hoplitodromos," a footrace where athletes competed in heavy armour, shield, and helmet.

Why would ancient warriors hold the spear overhead and pointing down rather than from below or pointing forward like pikemen? It seems like the single worst way to hold a spear to brace for impact whether it be on the offensive or defensive.
My understanding is that hoplites would hold the spear overhand when they A. wanted the option of throwing the spear, and B. were trying to get the spear to go over the top rim of the shield and down into the head/neck/shoulders area.
Whereas hoplites would hold the spear underhand in order to jab the spear up under the bottom rim of the shield or at the less well-defended legs/groin area.
Keep in mind that these grips were not mutually exclusive and a hoplite would shift their grip depending on whether the enemy was holding his shield up or down, what rank in the phalanx they were in, and other tactical considerations.

Paths to Glory– New Theros-themed Subclasses for Bard, Cleric, & Fighter
Since this is technically an “off” week for my normal weekly releases, I thought it might be nice to offer up another preview of my upcoming Theros-themed compendium, Forgotten Odysseys. I’m especially happy with the bard’s College of Chronicles; I feel like I hit the exact flavor I was going for, and I’m always a fan of subclasses that blend new features with existing class mechanics.
These are just 3 of the 9 subclasses that will be included in the eventual public release of Forgotten Odysseys, which is still many months off. But if you’d like to be able to see exclusive bi-weekly updates, vote in polls to determine what other content I make, get an early look at all of my other releases, and help support my crippling addiction to TTRPG content-creation, you can always sign up to support me over on Patreon for as little as $2/month!

Hey Steven! I know is not your area of expertise, but do you know of any good material dealing on hoplite warfare? Especifically something that deals with the orthodox/heretic debate on hoplites, if at all possible.
Oh god, don't make me go back to the hoplite debate. Why must you do this to me?
If for some reason you actually want to wade into this cursed place, here are some places to start:
"When Push Comes to Shove: What Was the "Othismos" of Hoplite Combat?" Christopher A. Matthew, 2009.
A Storm of Spears: Understanding the Greek Hoplite in Action, Christopher A. Matthew, 2011.
The Western Way of War: Infantry Battle in Classical Greece, Victor David Hanson, 2009.
Men of Bronze: Hoplite Warfare in Ancient Greece, Donald Kagan (ed.), Gregory F. Viggiano (ed.), 2013.
