στρατός (στρώννυ_μι), gen. στρατόφιν:
army, host, Od. 2.30.
In the Iliad στρατός is the encamped army
of the Greeks before Troy, the 1186 ships, with streets throughout the
camp, Il. 10.66. The tents or barracks
stood parallel with the ships, and opposite the intervals between
them, Il. 15.653 ff. At first the
camp had no wall, the presence of Achilles rendering such defence
needless, but after his withdrawal from warfare, by the advice of Nestor (Il. 7.436-441), a
massive wall was built, with gates and towers, Il. 12.118-123.
