Re: swords
The kopis was a more expensive sword to make and it should be reserved for cavalry and above-average troops, though not necessarily elite.
The hoplite shortsword might be used....also, though I´m not sure, Iphikatrean swords were reported to be longer, and some eastern troops might also resort to a Celtic(Galatian) longsword.
I also vaguely remember a "no more leaf-shaped swords!" post somewhere....
As for discarding their spear, let alone throw a thrusting spear that long is doubtful to say the least....
