Hello Creighton Clark!

Do people spell your first name as strangly as they spell my last?
I have always wondered...

It is a long an cherished belief of mine that the phalanx was an
invention on Philip of Macedon, who is probably my favourite historical
military figure. For those of you who don't know, Philip was Alexander
the Great's dad. Thus the phalanx postdates the Spartans. Am I wrong?
If so, what were you supposed to call the Spartan military formation?
