Here are a couple of additional images that may clarify the stance issue. One is simply the position of the feet in each that I found online someplace and modified by adding the red lines to indicate a line from hip to hip. The other is an excellent drawing done by Paul McDonnell-Staff to show the way a hoplite moves between two orientations as he strikes. Since he's posted it here before, I hope he does not mind me doing so again. I modified it by adding the left side image to show a side-on stance as well.

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!"
