Abstract

Ovaj radi bavi se podrijetlom, motivima, statusom i raznim ulogama civila u antičkim grčkim vojskama klasičnog perioda, tipično zvanih taborski pratitelji, koncentrirajući se pritom na jedan književni izvor, Ksenofontovu Anabazu, kao specifičan primjer modela jedna takve vojske.
Sadrži analizu grčkih vojski u Ksenofontovo doba do mjere koja je nužna da uputi čitatelja u kontekst za mnoge specijalizirane termine grčke vojne nomenklature analizirane u glavnini rada. To uključuje podrijetlo vojnika, njihovu motivaciju i opremu.
Jedno poglavlje bavi se logistikom i svakodnevnicom života vojske. Brojevi vojnika i taborskih pratitelja detaljno su proučeni, kao i dnevne rutine tijekom marša. Drugi dijelovi rada proučavaju društvenu pokretljivost u vojsci, pogotovo od taborskih pratitelja prema vojničkom sloju i obrnuto, kako je istraženo kroz poznate primjere koje pruža Ksenofont.
Dalje, usud takozvanih ''ranjivih slojeva'', misleći u ovom slučaju na žene i robove, je opisan u zasebnom poglavlju, zajedno s njihovim prilikama za društveni napredak.
Istraživanje zaključuje da je linija između vojnika i taborskih pratitelja bila ćesto zamućena u Deset tisuća, te da će vojska na kraju steći zajednički identitet zasnovan na utilitarizmu i zajedničkom preživljavanju. U tom smislu predstavljati će model za kasnije vojske i plaćeničke grupe kasnog klasičnog i ranog helenističkog perioda.

Abstract (english)

This paper deal with the origins, motives, status and various roles of non-combatants in ancient Greek armies of the Classical period, typically referred to as camp followers, using a single literary source, the Anabasis by Xenophon, as a specific example for one model of such an army.
It contains an analysis of Greek armies in the age of Xenophon insomuch as is necessary to provide the reader with context for many specialized examples of ancient Greek military nomenclature analyzed in latter parts of the work. This includes the soldier's origins, motives and equipment.
A chapter deals with logistics and daily life of the army. The numbers of soldiers and camp followers are examined in detail, as are the daily routines of the march. Other parts of the work study social mobility in the army, especially from camp follower to soldier, and vice versa, as examined through known examples provided by Xenophon. Furthermore, the fate the so-called ''vulnerable class'', meaning in this case women and slaves, as well as their status and opportunities for social advancement, are also considered in a separate section.
The study concludes that the line between soldier and camp follower was often blurred in the Ten Thousand, and that the army would eventually forge a collective identity based on utilitarianism and mutual survival. As such, they would form a model for future armies and mercenary bands of late classical and early Hellenistic period.
