Unimpressive, I know, but modern humans have been experiencing a growth spurt due to the superabundance of food, which is why we are much taller and heavier than people in antiquity.

They would have soiled themselves if they got a glimpse of the actors that played the Spartans in , all of which were over 6' and were well over pounds of solid muscle. But no formal records exist and the legends insist you let your inagination soar It is recorded historically that Hercules was 4 and a half cubits. Cubits have become smaller over time simply because people have become smaller. The cubit that was used during Roman times according to Vitruvius was equal to 1 and a half Roman feet.

Mesopotamia cubit "kus" Armour: Draw. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, with the cuirass being able to be punctured by arrows and javelins and the Nemean Lion Skin not covering all of Heracles' body. Ajax the Greater marches down a narrow road on the look out for Trojan soldiers.

Suddenly an arrow flies past Ajax's face and lands in the dirt. Heracles is standing at the end of the road, Apollo's Bow in hand. Ajax raises his shield as Heracles fire another arrow down towards the Achaean. Ajax charges into range and hurls his javelin at the demigod, who promptly catches it and throws it back, with Ajax staggering backwards from the impact.

Ajax raises his Tower Shield and points his Dory at Heracles and advances. Heracles sees the spear being thrust towards him and ducks, with the spearhead scraping the back of the Nemean Lion's Skin. Ajax thrusts his spear forward again, only for the shaft to get snapped in half from a blow of Heracles' club. Ajax draws his Xiphos and slammed his shield into the demigod's chest. The two exchange blows for a couple of minutes before, Ajax manages to cut Heracles in the stomach with his Xiphos.

A swipe from Heracles' club knocked Ajax down, flattening the cuirass he was wearing. And one youngster who has quite a sizeable height advantage over his opponents is Ajax youth player, David Easmon. He's going viral on Twitter after a couple of images emerged of him in action against Sparta's U15s on Monday. Little is known about Easmon but AjaxYA , an account dedicated to sharing news about Ajax's academy, has shared some information about him.
