Hello goonmasterflex

You can find several scans of line drawings of Greek warriors with
their weapons, scanned from Costumes of the Greeks and Romans by
Thomas Hope, at http://www.costumes.org/pages/books/hope/hopegreek3.htm
Click on the thumbnails to get a proper view of each picture. 

Some photographs of real Greek armor and weapons plus a verbal
description from the Shefton Museum of the University of Newcastle, UK
can be found at
http://www.ncl.ac.uk/shefton-museum/arms/armsindex.html 
There are some problems with the site. Not all the pictures downloaded
when I visited it.

Pictures of a sword and spear

On the pages of Eclectic Historian, you can see a picture of a
reproduction “naue-type” sword, a long bronze sword as used around
1200 BC http://www.eclectichistorian.net/Griffzungenschwert/
There are also pictures of the Greek hoplite sword and kopis curved
sword – the thumbnails are about halfway down the page, and you can
click on them to get larger pictures

Here are some photographs of people re-enacting Spartan warriors
