Travis this was used only by the Byzantines if the odds looked bad and actually some devine intervention would come handy.
It worked against the Avars and the Arabs but perhaps they abused it or God was fed up with them and it did not halp in 1204 and 1453.

Aklexandru " alalalalalalalai" or "Eleleleu!" are dialect variations doric and ionic. They are as old as Greece itsself and they are an invocation to the solar victorius deity. Plus they serve to keep the rythm of the formation.

"seLAS" aeolic dialect for light. I t survives in some form in many European languages.

hELLEO hELLO I gatther the army for war.
Survives in the franch language in the word "elan".

HELLENES = the one who fight together. (early phalanx???)

ELENI (Helen) the lunimus one OR the one that for her sake armies are gathered.

ELENA (ionic) ELANA (doric) the shock of impact of the phalanx when it crushes on the enemy.

Hope I helped
