This was due to their use of the Phalanx
The Greeks did use archers, but they weren't part of the phalanx, which relied on interlocking shields. If archers were in use, they would be located well behind the phalanx formation.
The phalanx was invented by the ancient Greeks, but is seen most when Alexander The Great was in power. Alexander improved the phalanx by adding the pike (an 18 foot spear) to it increasing its effectiveness in battle.

that's called a phalanx mainly the Spartans and Romans used it. they also had a lot of spears sticking out to
Phalanx is the singular term for the phalanges (bones of the fingers and toes) so there would only ever be one phalanx. The middle finger is made up of three phalanges as are all the other fingers and toes except for the thumbs and big toes which only have two.

The scientific names for the fourteen phalanges in the foot are as follows: distal phalanx of the hallux, middle phalanx of the hallux, proximal phalanx of the hallux, distal phalanx of the second toe, middle phalanx of the second toe, proximal phalanx of the second toe, distal phalanx of the third toe, middle phalanx of the third toe, proximal phalanx of the third toe, distal phalanx of the fourth toe, middle phalanx of the fourth toe, proximal phalanx of the fourth toe, distal phalanx of the fifth toe, and middle phalanx of the fifth toe.
Specifically a Phalanx is a military formation wherein the ranks are tightly formed in rectangular fashion. The shields of each member would be locked together so as to protect their left side and the right side of the person on their left. Each member would carry a spear and a short sword as well, with the spear points of the two or three rows behind the front protruding from the front line as well. The movie 300 shows an excellent example of the power of a well-formed phalanx.
how do you describe in detail of a phalanx
how do you describe in detail of a phalanx
The phalanx had interlocking shields, so it was like a "turtle". Also men in the phalanx's usually wore heavy armor. So therefore it was very hard for an enemy army, to attack a army in a phalanx, due to the vast armor protection and interlocking shields the phalanx possessed. Also the sturdy heavy shields and armor made phalanx's very adept against archers. Soldiers in phalanx "mode" were also equipped with long spears which were deadly against Calvary, and made them very sturdy opponents against normal ground troops. However the phalanx's had many major weaknesses...like the lack of mobility, the need for extraordinary amounts of discipline to stay together and the massive vulnerability to a flanking attack.
Phalanx is the 13th Colossus to defeat
Bit-Phalanx was created in 2006.
Phalanx - comics - was created in 1994.
Each phalanx that articulates with the distal end of a metacarpal is a proximal phalanx. These phalanges are numbered one through five to distinguish them.
At the time, the Phalanx was a nearly impenetrable formation. When done properly, as evidenced by the Spartan performance at Thermopylae, unless a phalanx could be flanked, it was nearly impossible to defeat, even with superior numbers. The weakness of the phalanx was that it was extremely vulnerable from the flanks and rear, and any attack from those locations wouldn't have given time to readjust the formation properly.
