I haven't been to Greece right enough.
But still, unless they plank a Phalanx in the middle of 2 steep cliffs I don't see how they would not attempt flanking attacks etc. If they had such a strong position why would anyone even attack? Why else have light troops? they would be perfect for that type of terrain.
If i was a general fighting a Phalanx i would concentrate on the flanks, even if they where sandwiched within rough terrain. Should you not always focus on an enemys weak point?
Cheers
