Toxotai
Toxotai were Ancient Greek archers armed with a short Greek bow and a short sword. They carried a little pelte shield. Cretan archers used nearly the same type of equipment except that they used a long bow.
Hippotoxotai were mounted archers and rode ahead of the cavalry.
The name Toxotes was used to describe the mythic Sagittarius, a legendary creature thought to be a centaur.
