Yes they did. They would use a phalanx because it was a steady formation. Also, if a row was defeated there would be another row right behind to defeat you.

Did the Argos conquer Sparta?
SpartaLord no! Quite the opposite, a spartan force under the command of Leonidas' older half'brother Cleomenes I razed the Argolid force to the ground, wiping them from the main stage. Thebes conquered Sparta after Xerxes I's invasion of 480 BC The Theban's did not 'conquer' Sparta, nobody did. They defeated them in the Battle of Leuctra, 371 BC (109 years after the Persians failed invasion). Led by Epaminondas, he tactically for the first time ever changed his phalanx. He turned his Phanlanx's weakest point (left side) into it's strongest, allowing his 'stronger' phalanx to clash with Spartan's strong point and a 50 men deep, his phalanx crushed the Spartan's strongest right side. He also staggered the advance of his right phalanx and in doing so by the time his 'strongest' point had broken through and routed the Spartan's strong point his remaining phalanx had advanced to clash with Spartan's, only that the Spartan's were left with no strong point and as the phalanx was broken it failed.This was the first, last and only time the Spartan's were defeated at full strength and ulitimately led to the entire Spartan demise.
