Best Answer

most weapons were made of bronze or copper up until 100 BCE when they started to make weapons out of iron.

The ancient primary Greek weapons like The Dory was made up of either iron or bronze. The Spartan swords were made up of iron blade, the Kopis were also made up of iron and the shields were made out of wood with an outer layer of bronze.
Ancient greek weapons were made of copper or bronze. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. The very first weapon in Greece was copper then bronze. Later (c.1000BC) iron weapons came into use. Iron tools also allowed the Greeks to make sophisticated armour and shields from bronze.

The ancient Greeks crafted their arrows from wood, from a variety of trees but usually ones with flexible wood that was also light and could travel faster when shot from a bow. The arrows were tipped with bronze spikes, bronze being light enough for Archery use but also capable of being honed to a very sharp point and an aerodynamic shape. The tail-quivers were usually made from bird feathers.

Mostly the Greeks used bronze, but toward the end of their era they had begun to change to iron (purely because iron was cheaper).
