Nice find! I'll start looking for images of spears with grip-wraps as well. if you find any with centrally placed, wrapped grips then that would be beneficial evidence to the contrary. I am inclined to believe the grip placement is more accurate than where a hoplite is actually holding a spear in a scene that has no obvious grip. Notice the obvious taper to theis dory as well.
By the way, the owl-hoplite that is your avatar seems to be gripping towards the rear of the spear :wink:

A Spartan, being asked a question, answered "No." And when the questioner said, "You lie," the Spartan said, "You see, then, that it is stupid of you to ask questions to which you already know the answer!"
