Today, the image of a Spartan hoplite helmet is used as a symbol of strength, fortitude, and human physical excellence.

今天，斯巴达兵头盔的形象力量、坚韧和人类身体卓越的象征。

Persia was a particularly large customer during its wars of expansion around the end of the sixth century, and frequently paid its hoplite recruits in the newfangled medium of silver coins.

波斯在 6 世纪末的扩战争期间是一个特别大的客户，并经常以新奇的银币为支付兵新兵的报酬。

Hoplites, the heavily armed infantrymen who formed the core of Greek armies of this period, were much in demand as soldiers of fortune, and many found employment in non-Greek armies—not infrequently fighting their fellow Greeks.

兵是这一时期希腊军队核心的全副武的兵，为发财的士兵很受欢迎，许多人在非希腊军队中找到了工——经常与他们的希腊同胞战。
