No one here has said that Greeks did not thrust underhand. Every Spartan hoplite worth his salt used a spear two handed and underhand. But only when using boar spears to hunt! All we are saying is that they used overhand when in formation. I have gone so far as to suggest that they switched to underhand after one side broke and they fought with more room to move.
