I've played as Greeks before... I expanded the Phalanx (so they're not as deep as they are across) and have enough of them that I can sweep a few around the edges. I basically frontline their troops and flank with more troops. I hit them from behind and it tightens the noose. They seem to lose morale that way. I've done that with a few factions and it's worked out.
Cavalry generally is crap (I've noticed on RS and the same on RTR) and use mostly infantry for the tasks. Cavalry for me is a good quick push to move their skirmishers back, or run down fleeing troops. Now that I got my Imperial Reforms on my Roman saved game, I can have the heavier mounted troops. But I don't hit any spear lines with them even if from behind.
