After all, their descriptions, and QS's testimony, imply that all Hellenic citizens go through a basic training program in their youth. The only difference in this case would be wealth. The richer ones can afford excellent armor while the poorer ones have the bare minimum hoplon + pylos helmet, either because they had no choice, or because they were employed as Ekdromoi (those who dash out from the phalanx to chase down skirmishers).
