"Troy conquered by dory."

The Greek spear has a rich history and was the primary weapon used by warriors in Homer's Iliad. The spear was used in two different styles of combat, the early style with thrusting spears dating back to the Mycenaean period, and a later style with throwing spears.

During the Ancient Greek period, the dory or doru spear was the main armament used by heavy infantry soldiers known as hoplites. The word "dory" was first used in Homer and had two meanings, "wood" and "spear." Homeric heroes were often depicted holding two dorys, and during the classical period, the dory was a symbol of military power. In fact, it was considered more important than the sword, as shown in expressions like "Troy conquered by dory."
