But is is the second exception.
The fist is Chigi vase
Good attempt by the artist but he seems to have not been a hoplite!
The underarm thrusting is not for tight formations!
Unless the artists aim was to deliberatly make obvioys the second rank then Herakles has managed to get the guys (or gals I suspect these are Amazons) before they fully formed.
You need your shield to contact the frontrankers back to perform othismos.
Kind regards
