I wouldn't turn out my back foot, but otherwise I agree. The pose I have problems with is the one shown below, where a hoplites stabs over his head without bringing the right shoulder forward. If you don't bring the shoulder forward with the twist of your body and the thrust of your hips forward, the strike is weakened.

The over the head strike is in my opinion artistic not realistic.

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!"
