Quote:Gioi - I think the key to these diagrams is the way the shields overlap (or dont).
Thanks. I don't want to say too much because I am interested in peoples' "common" perception of how hoplites fought based on their previous reading. Each image represents an alternate spacing or shield overlapping scheme. I think the four images cover all of the prevailing opinions, but if someone has another feel free to share it.

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
