Are you sure they had so little gear and clothing?
Greek hoplite armies of the period generally carried most of their supplies via pack animals and porters. As such armies were made of middle-class militiamen who provided their own equipment, anything a soldier would not have thought to bring along and not been required to was very likely to be missing, and there are numerous accounts of soldiers in this period dying of exposure because they did not bring the appropriate apparel to their destination - or to the detour they were forced to take!
Ah, I forgot Ancient Greece was that ‘DIY’ about war.
Pretty much everyone was, up till pretty late in the middle ages, you would be lucky if they gave you a weapon, let alone clothing and food.
Why walk in armour like that?
Last thing you want is to be caught in hostile territory without your armor on!
Me and the boys looking for that sweet, sweet hot chocolate:
looks like they will be missing toes when they get home yikes
It looks soo cold. I am freezing just looking at this.
