mihais,
well, pyrrhus DID fight the romans, and despite being an acknowledged superior battlefield commander, really only managed to eke out tactical...pyrrhic (;)) victories against a numerically-similar force led by relative nobodies.
i agree greece lost because it was far more disorganized than the romans, but even tactically i don't see how the phalanx was really superior or even the equal to the maniple/legion.
Simply put,Alexander,Pyrhus or Antigonos would not have fought the Romans the way the hellenistic kings did.
