Henry knew that he was sending his troops out into a battle they would lose but instead of dwelling on this Henry convinces his men that the battle is more than a mathematical formula that they have all come there to fight for honour, for justice and for glory.

In his commentary of Xenophon’s ‘Hellenica’, George Carkwell argues that Sparta originally lost her power from 394 BC, after the naval victory of the Persian and Greek fleet. The combined Persian and Greek fleet was under the command of the Athenian Conon and Pharnabazus. They defeated the Spartan navy led by Pisander. Following this significant defeat, Spartan ‘harmosts’ were expelled through the Aegean and this led to the Lacedaemonian maritime empire being virtually
Though the Etruscans made Roma a metropolis, the Romans themselves adopted Greek artistic customs instead. They broke from traditional conventions however, and made their statues often more realistic and the coloration (which is now often lost) much gaudier. Greek paintings were too adopted in form, but such items did not survive antiquity. Secondly, the Romans adopted Greek mythology and philosophy. Originally, the chief deities of Vesta, Jupiter, Mars and Venus did not have mythology in Rome (with many being quite animistic).
By overthrowing the Persian Empire and by spreading Hellenism, Greek culture, language, thought, and way of life, as far as India, Alexander was instrumental in creating a new Hellenistic era. Alexander was able to maintain the enormous territory that he conquered by never stopping or backing down, he continued to push forward no matter what. He was only thirty-two, but in just thirteen years he had created an empire that stretched from his homeland of Macedonia to India. As he plunged deeper into the East conquering lands he founded new cities and military colonies, which scattered Greeks and Macedonians throughout the East. This was how he controlled all the land he conquered.

Whether it is an influence on science or art, to anyone who has studied Greece in the days of its glory the influences be easily pinpointed. These influences continue into the art of war. As previously stated, war was a constant in Greece so much so that it became imbedded in its very culture. Consequently the way in which war was conducted in ancient Greece has become a portrait of the way in which it should be conducted, and set a standard around the Western world for years to come. Despite war being one of the most immoral, barbaric, and most appalling of all human creations, the Greeks did the impossible, by successfully portraying war as something of beauty, patriotism, freedom and self-sacrifice.

Improve An example of Homer contrasting Achilles' selfishness and Hector's nobility is when they have their discussion about their reasons for fighting in the war. Hector reveals his reasoning for fighting when he talks with his wife Andromache and states, "Wife, I too have thought upon all this, but with what face should I look upon the Trojans, men or women, if I shirked battle like a coward? I cannot do so: I know nothing save to fight bravely in the forefront of the Trojan host and win renown alike for my father and myself." This quote shows that Hector is fighting for respect for his family name, his city, and to protect his family from harm. This contrasts with Achilles who fights for fame and abundant wealth.
