Quote:Carthagenians were neighbors to Cyrenaic Greeks that they might have converted to a more pike-like army. (The Ophella guy!)
Only they were separated by a huge stretch of largely inhospitable and impassable barren land. The Cyrenaic Greeks were as much neighbours to Carthage as the Italians. Which is to say, they really weren't.
Besides, I don't think there's any evidence of Cyrenaic Greeks ever adopting the phalanx, anyway.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
