This battle was a complete mess. This was because there participated two of the largest Greek armies ever opposed till then in a battlefield.The Spartans,for intance,were cought in their sleep when they saw the full allied army against them ready for battle. They had to change tactics while marching and it is more tha possible that no one knew what was happening in the center or in the flanks. Many of the oponents were found without any enemy against them to fight with. If the Argives had turned to fight,the result would be similar to the battle of Koroneia perhaps...
