I think I may have just realized something looking at another thread. Let me try to get this out. When you look at greaves on the back edge, the open gap is roughly an inch or two wide.

When the greave is actually placed on the leg, does it spring around the leg and come back to the same gap on the back side of the leg or does it spring against the leg using tension to hold it up so that the gap up the back of the leg is now wider than the greave off of the hoplite? Does that make sense?
