Greek archers

In classical Greek city-states such as Athens, citizen armies were composed mainly of hoplite heavy infantry who looked down upon the poorer levy troops such as archers. Many ancient writers considered ranged combat as cowardly compared to the decisive hand to hand warfare which favoured the hoplite. Archers functioned as skirmishers and sharpshooters, looking to exploit gaps into the enemy line and shake the resolve of enemy troops by targeting unarmoured body parts.
