The Hoplites were Greek. You were basically a farmer, and when your city-state went to war, you picked up your armor and spear (both of which you had to provide yourself, I believe) and marched off with your neighbours.

IMO, militias are cheaper than a regular army and will fight harder because they have more to lose (like Blanco said).
