Quote:If the Argives had turned to fight,the result would be similar to the battle of Koroneia perhaps...
I agree that the battle was a mess. I think they would have been worse off than the Thebans at Koronea though, for in that case it was as if they fought a second battle, with formed lines. If the Argives had wheeled they probably would have hit the Spartan center-left in the flank. Of course I am glad they didn't :wink:

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!"
