Ancient Greek heavy infantry. Famously fought in [[phalanx]] formation with a dory ([[spear]]) and an [[aspis]] ([[shield]]), with a [[xiphos (sword)|]] as a backup weapon. Their armor could be a [[linothorax]], a [[cuirass]], or [[nude]], depending on period, individual wealth, and artistic depiction.

Not to be confused with the [[Phalanx (sekaiju)|]] from [[Sekaiju no Meikyuu 3]], which is known as the Hoplite in English (Etrian Odyssey).
