Dory (spear) grips are debated, but I personally believe hoplites did whatever worked based on the totality of the circumstances. This means you’d see a wide variety of grips.https://twitter.com/CraigHlady/status/1232693273229053952 …
Agreed! Switching grips with a spear is not all that hard, so there is no reason to suppose a hoplite would feel 'locked in' to just one grip.

Phew. People get really passionate about this (also othismos models)

I am a 'soft' othismos thinker: charge, collide, maybe some pushing. I'd think the formation would accordion naturally - a press at the impact of the charge, followed by men naturally spacing out. But I don't think anyone can be sure enough about anything to be angry about it.
