In the broadest sense, a '''warrior ''' is one who defends an ideal, institution, person or group of people against assault (or threat thereof), usually under some form of oath that, once taken, grants express authority to employ violence in fealty to the oath.
A '''warrior ''' is a person specializing in [[combat]] or [[war]]fare, especially within the context of a [[tribal society|tribal]] or [[clan]]-based warrior culture society that recognizes a separate warrior class or [[caste]].


In an extended sense, the term "warrior" is sometimes applied by [[analogy]] to anyone who acts with extraordinary bravery, at great peril, to protect the innocent. The analogical sense of the term is captured in the following passage:
==History==
Warriors seem to have been present in the earliest pre-state societies. Along with hunting, war was considered to be a definitive male activity. No matter the pretext for combat, it seemed to have been a rite of passage for a boy to become a man. Warriors took upon costumes and equipment that seemed to have a symbolic significance; combat itself would be preceded by ritual or sacrifice. Men of fighting age often lived apart in order to encourage bonding, and would ritualise combat in order to demonstrate individual prowess among one another. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=8|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref> Most of the basic weapons used by Warriors appeared before the rise of most hierarchial systems. Bows and arrows, clubs, spears, and other edged weapons were in widespread use. However with the new findings of metallurgy, the aforementioned weapons had grown in effectiveness. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=14|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref>


"The spirit of the warrior touches many across time and place. It is not exclusive to those professionals who devote their lives to it. It touches the mother who, with blinding ferocity, protects a child against danger. It touches the young man who blazes like a flame and charges forward when an armed terrorist storms onto the train that carries him. It touches the principal who plants herself, unyielding as granite, between a machete-wielding madman and the kindergarteners that he means to attack. It touches the brave samaritan who along his way sees a thug robbing an old man and does not avert his eyes but chases the thug away. Circumstances call, and the moment finds a warrior. The spirit of the warrior touches many across time and place."<ref>Daniel Modell, The Warrior's Manifesto, YMAA Publication Center, Inc., 2018, ISBN: 9781594395987</ref>
When the first hierarchical systems evolved 5000 years ago, the gap between the rulers and the ruled had increased. Making war to extend the outreach of their territories, rulers often forced men from lower orders of society into the military role. This had been the first use of professional soldiers —a distinct difference from the warrior communities.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=9|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref>


The warrior ethic in many societies later became the preserve of the ruling class. Egyptian pharaohs would depict themselves in war chariots, shooting at enemies, or smashing others with clubs. Fighting was considered a prestigious activity, but only when associated with status and power. European mounted knights would often feel contempt for the foot soldiers recruited from lower classes. Even in meso American societies of pre-Columbian America, the elite aristocratic soldiers remained separated from the lower classes of stone-throwers. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=10|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref>
==History==
[[Artifacts]] from early tribal and nomadic societies suggest that in some form warriors have existed from the dawn of history. Depictions in [[cave paintings]] and [[rock art]] of weaponry and tactical formations in pre-civilized hunts offer tantalizing clues about the beginnings of organized warfare and the coordinated, violent action wrought by a cadre of men bound to a common purpose so essential to it. Some of the earliest poetry, such as the [[Iliad]], was rooted in the theme of war and warrior. In some societies, such as ancient [[Sparta]], combat was an essential rite of passage from boyhood into manhood.


In contrast to the belief of the caste and clan based warrior who saw war as a place to attain valor and glory, warfare was a practical matter that could change the course of history. History always showed hat men of lower orders who, provided that they were practically organized and equipped, almost always outfought warrior elites through an individualistic and humble approach to war. This was the approach of the Roman legions who had only the incentive of promotion, as well as a strict level of discipline. When Europe's standing armies of the 17th and 18th centuries developed, discipline was at the core of their training. Officers had the role of transforming men that they viewed as lower class to become reliable fighting men. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=10|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref>
Apparel and weaponry in course of time carried symbolic as well as practical significance. [[Combat]] came often to be preceded by [[ritual]] or sacrifice. In some societies, men of fighting age were segregated to encourage bonding, and singular, ritualized contests served to display individual prowess. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=8|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref>


The advent of [[civilization]] saw also stratification. In practice, though not exclusively so, the uppermost stratum within societies of the ancient world was occupied by a [[tyrant]] (which did not necessarily carry negative connotations, as in, for example [[Greek city-states]] where the term fundamentally meant "ruler" and the ruler might be just or unjust, wise or thoughtless), an extension of the tribal [[chieftains]] of pre-civilized society. Historically, tyranny tended to seek an expanding imperium and for that, sizable and professional militaries were needed. Conscription was a common way of building such a [[military]]. The professional soldier was born of such conscription under tyrants seeking to expand their empires.<ref>Daniel Modell, The Warrior's Manifesto, YMAA Publication Center, Inc., 2018, ISBN: 9781594395987</ref>
Inspired by the Ancient Greek ideals of the 'citizen soldier', many European societies during the Renaissance began to incorporate conscription and raise armies from the general populace. A change in attitude was noted as well, as officers were told to treat their soldiers with moderation and respect. For example, men who fought in the American Civil War often elected their own officers. With the mobilization of citizens in the armies sometimes reaching the millions, societies often made efforts in order to maintain or revive the warrior spirit. This trend continues to the modern day. <ref>{{cite book|last1=Grant|first1=R.G|title=Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man|date=2007|publisher=Penguin|isbn=978-0-7566-3203-8|page=11|accessdate=3 February 2018}}</ref>
Due to the heroic connotations of the term "warrior", this metaphor is especially popular in publications advocating or recruiting for a country's military.<ref>e.g. [[Wong, Leonard]], "[http://afs.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/31/4/599 Leave No Man Behind: Recovering America’s Fallen Warriors]."

==Women as warriors==
Although the ethos of war and warrior was largely the prerogative of and defined by men in the ancient world, there are notable exceptions captured in myth and fact.
While the warrior class in tribal societies is typically all-male, there are some exceptions on record where women (typically unmarried, young women) formed part of the warrior class, particularly in pre-modern Japan.


[[Greek mythology]] speaks of the legendary [[Amazons]], a race of fierce female warriors ruling [[Themyscira]]. Likewise, the Valkyries of Norse Mythology are warlike female spirits who usher fallen warriors, if deemed worthy, into [[Valhalla]].
A purported group of fighting women is the legendary [[Amazons]], recorded in Classical Greek mythology. Similarly, the Valkyrie are depicted in Norse mythology, particularly the Icelandic Etta.


During the [[Viking Age]] a type of female warrior was the ''skjaldmær'', or [[shieldmaiden]].

In the broadest sense, a warrior is one who defends an ideal, institution, person or group of people against assault (or threat thereof), usually under some form of oath that, once taken, grants express authority to employ violence in fealty to the oath.

In an extended sense, the term "warrior" is sometimes applied by analogy to anyone who acts with extraordinary bravery, at great peril, to protect the innocent. The analogical sense of the term is captured in the following passage:

"The spirit of the warrior touches many across time and place. It is not exclusive to those professionals who devote their lives to it. It touches the mother who, with blinding ferocity, protects a child against danger. It touches the young man who blazes like a flame and charges forward when an armed terrorist storms onto the train that carries him. It touches the principal who plants herself, unyielding as granite, between a machete-wielding madman and the kindergarteners that he means to attack. It touches the brave samaritan who along his way sees a thug robbing an old man and does not avert his eyes but chases the thug away. Circumstances call, and the moment finds a warrior. The spirit of the warrior touches many across time and place."[1]


History

Artifacts from early tribal and nomadic societies suggest that in some form warriors have existed from the dawn of history. Depictions in cave paintings and rock art of weaponry and tactical formations in pre-civilized hunts offer tantalizing clues about the beginnings of organized warfare and the coordinated, violent action wrought by a cadre of men bound to a common purpose so essential to it. Some of the earliest poetry, such as the Iliad, was rooted in the theme of war and warrior. In some societies, such as ancient Sparta, combat was an essential rite of passage from boyhood into manhood.

Apparel and weaponry in course of time carried symbolic as well as practical significance. Combat came often to be preceded by ritual or sacrifice. In some societies, men of fighting age were segregated to encourage bonding, and singular, ritualized contests served to display individual prowess. [2]

The advent of civilization saw also stratification. In practice, though not exclusively so, the uppermost stratum within societies of the ancient world was occupied by a tyrant (which did not necessarily carry negative connotations, as in, for example Greek city-states where the term fundamentally meant "ruler" and the ruler might be just or unjust, wise or thoughtless), an extension of the tribal chieftains of pre-civilized society. Historically, tyranny tended to seek an expanding imperium and for that, sizable and professional militaries were needed. Conscription was a common way of building such a military. The professional soldier was born of such conscription under tyrants seeking to expand their empires.[3]

Women as warriors

Although the ethos of war and warrior was largely the prerogative of and defined by men in the ancient world, there are notable exceptions captured in myth and fact.

Greek mythology speaks of the legendary Amazons, a race of fierce female warriors ruling Themyscira. Likewise, the Valkyries of Norse Mythology are warlike female spirits who usher fallen warriors, if deemed worthy, into Valhalla.

During the Viking Age the skjaldmær, or shieldmaiden, served as warriors. Remains excavated in Birka, Sweden, were, through DNA testing, confirmed to be a female warrior.[4] These women survive in a few historical testimonies like those of the Byzantine Empire.

Some women led hosts of men among the Picts, Britons, and Irish of the Pre-Christian era.[citation needed] Boudicca of the Iceni is a famous exemplar of this type who rebelled against Roman rule in Britain. Tomoe Gozen is celebrated in Japanese history as a samurai General in the 12th Century. Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" is considered a heroine of France for her leadership and courage during the Lancastrian phase of the Hundred Years' War.
