Plato referred to "dances of war": pyrrhic dances.
"Dance" used defensively: postures to swerve,
duck, side-leap, upwards-leaps, crouching: to avoid
projectiles, swords, etc., similar moves used
offensively. An army rythmically united into
a phlanx of synchronized archers, synchronized
javelins, synchronized pikes, synchronized swordsmen,
and a synchronized cavalry. Swords and shields collide,
disarray ensues, but as with dance, the soldiers
retreat in orderly fashion, regroup, and attack in
an orderly fashion, attacking again and again, the
attacks and retreats synchronized to military music.
A military that is highly disciplined to a
choreographed war.
