PANOPLY

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 681 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PANOPLY , a
complete
  suit of
armour
 . The word represents the Gr. 7r-avow-Ma (rrar, all, and 67rMa, arms), the full
armour
  of a hoplite or heavy-armed soldier, i.e. the shield, breastplate,
helmet
  and greaves, together with the
sword
  and lance. As applied to armour of a later date, panoply " did not come into use till the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th
century
 , and was then used of the
complete
  suits of
plate
 -armour covering the whole
body
 . The figurative use of the word is chiefly due to the phrase i7 7ravolrXia roG Oeoi3, " the whole armour of God " (Eph. vi. II).
