I've seen greek re-enactors doing the same,and it's wrong for greeks. It is clear enough that the typical fighting grip was the overhand. Hoplites must not have used this high grip in phalanx formation. Re-enactors have used it,not being ale to explain how hoplites "changed" grips from underarm to overarm.The answer is that they sismply did not change grip once they had started marching.
