>>9771768Not any of the previous anons but I will point out that the ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes wrote a comedy called Lysistrata where women tired of the ongoing Peloponnesian War decide to force the men to come to terms by denying them sex. From this we can infer that:
>women in ancient Greece didn't participate in warfare>women in ancient Greece were basically a set of holesAnd that's just one example. We can go over how much the shield and armor of a typical hoplite would be carrying into battle weighed, how female participation in conflict was so unheard of that attention is drawn to a rare instance of it during the battle of Salamis (where a woman commander in Xerxes' fleet gets tired of being wrekt by the Greeks and sinks one of her own ships to gtfo of there), how phalanx cohesion depended on everyone being of roughly comparable strength and build to be effective...
Tl;dr women warriors is and always has been a Hollywood meme (or the ancient world's equivalent of Hollywood)
