A spear is made up of a long or medium shaft(basically a stick) and a point tip.Spears were commonly used during battle. They were used because of the range it gave the Greek soldiers. They were medium to long range weapons if you throw them. They were the primary weapon of most Greek soldiers. The spears that the Greek used had a leaf shaped blade. There were two types of spears that the Greek used and they were a Dory and and a Sarissa. Dory spears were spears with the length of 6 ft. The Sarissae spear was a very long spear with a length of 13-23 ft.
