Pezhetairos
text:
The pezhetairoi were the backbone of the Macedonian army and Diadochi kingdoms. They were literally "foot companions". The Macedonian phalanxes were made up almost entirely of pezhetairoi. Pezhetairoi were very effective against both enemy cavalry and infantry, as their long pikes could be used to impale enemies charging on horseback or to keep enemy infantry with shorter weapons at bay.
