    Throwing the Ancient Greek Dory: How Effective Is the Attached Ankyle at Increasing the Distance of the Throw?*

    Throwing the Ancient Greek Dory: How Effective is the Attached Ankyle at Increasing the Distance of the Throw?* STEVEN ROSS MURRAY, WILLIAM A. SANDS, AND DOUGLAS A. O'ROARK HE major weapon of the ancient Greeks was the combat spear, or dory T(δόρυ ). It primarily was used for thrusting in hand-to-hand combat, but it could be thrown as a missile weapon as well. To prepare the spear to be thrown, the ancient Greeks would use a leather thong, called an ankyle, which they attached to the spear's shaft roughly around its center of mass. The ankyle would be fashioned where a small loop was formed where the warrior could insert his first two fingers, while still holding the spear with his other fingers and thumb and resting the spear in his palm. The purpose of the ankyle was to add more thrust to the spear, theoretically adding distance to the throw; however, the actual effect of the use of the ankyle on the dory's throw is unknown. We found that modern throwers threw facsimiles of the dory a mean of 15.94 ± 2.85 meters with the dory alone, but when using the ankyle, the mean distance thrown was 24.00 ± 4.86 meters. We show that using the ankyle improves the distance that the dory could be thrown by 50.5 percent. High-speed-video analysis reveals that the ankyle increases the launch velocity of the dory from 2.95 meters per second to 4.98 meters per second. Our results show that the ankyle is an effective device for increasing the distance that the dory could be thrown.

  • “Won by the Spear” the Importance of the Dory to the Ancient Greek Warrior

    “Won by the Spear” the Importance of the Dory to the Ancient Greek Warrior

    ПРАКТИКА ОБУЧЕНИЯ ВОЕННОМУ ДЕЛУ В ДРЕВНЕЙ ГРЕЦИИ “WON BY THE SPEAR” THE IMPORTANCE OF THE DORY TO THE ANCIENT GREEK WARRIOR Steven Ross MURRAY The spear, or dory, was the major weapon of the ancient Greeks. The ancient Greek warrior, especially the hoplite, was known for his prowess in using the dory as a thrusting weapon in hand-to-hand combat and as part of the formidable Greek phalanx, but the dory, too, could be used as a missile weapon, when necessary. Other spe- cialized throwing-spears were commonplace among the ancient Greeks’ arsenal of weapons. The Greeks incorporated a throwing loop, called an ankyle, that was used to maximize the distance that a spear could be thrown, enhancing the ancient Greeks’ military domi- nance on the battlefield. The dory, and its athletic kin, the javelin, or akon or akonition, were fixtures in ancient Greece, and often Greek soldiers would carry two spears into battle for an edge over their ad- versaries. The following is a description of the dory, its construction and development, and how modern-day experiments indicate how impressive the ankyle was at helping the ancient Greeks to achieve victory that was “won by the spear”. Sophocles, in his fifth century BCE tragedy, Ajax, forever immor- talized the importance of the spear, or dory (δόρυ), to the ancient Greeks. The dory was the weapon of choice for the ancient Greek warrior, espe- cially the hoplite, who would typically be fitted with a helmet, greaves, and a shield for protection1, but used the spear as his main offensive weapon.

In many parts of the world, early civilizations formed when people began coming together in urban settlements. The word “civilization” relates to the Latin word “civitas” or “city.” This is why the most basic definition of the word “civilization” is “a society made up of cities.” Civilizations were formed by a group of people, with similar or same ideologies, beliefs, and interests, coming together in order to form a community. Civilization, in history, prevailed all over the world, but their occurrence and existence period varied. Some overlapped while some had a huge time difference. Every civilization had its identity. Some had a different colour, some had different features, while some differed by the advancement in their attire and evolution in the weapons they used.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.
