The Makedonian phalanx -- why such depth?
Quote: 'Battle order' or 'the order in which they meant fight' refers to dispositions - which unit stood next to which.......
.

Quote: Xenophon speaks of 'battle formation' 4 deep....

So which is correct – the former or the latter?

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
