Um Party.

Spartans aren't exactly as weak as you perceive them to be. If what the entry for Amazoness is true, then it somewhat obvious that they have semi-luxirious lifestyles, in which makes them strong-willed and boastful.

The Spartans don't have that pleasure.

Most Spartans go through life like HELL. Every moment that they are not sleeping, eating or recovering they train. They harm themselves to get used to the pain. Fatigue might be a problem, but consider this. Spartans train in the hot grueling desert sun while clad in bronze armour from head to toe. From the helmet, to the body armour, to the skirt light shorts they were, to their Greaves. They wear this shit constantly in battle, in which most Spartans go through regularly.

Also Spartans have very strong armour, (Made from Bronzes if I'm not mistaken) while most Amazoness are, mostly naked. I'm sure that Demonic Weapons still have to break trhough armour to hit their flesh. Something not that easily done, consering their weapon seems to prioritize slashing than stabbing, which is woefully ineffective to full plated armour.

Their weapons can also count. Spartans are mostly feard on how well and diverse their weapons are. Some can use bows, knifes, daggers, swords and spears. All of which are very dangerous. They also have very sturdy shields. NOw the Amazoness only have what looks likes a broadsword that looks too long to be used effectively in combat (Note, the longer the sword, the stronger your strikes become. It also requires more force, gives you less control of it, and gives your opponent a large amount of leverage to knock the thing out of your hands) and they haven't seem to be seen with shields.

Also magic is probably something Spartans are used to. Considering back then it was sort of mortal gods, oracles, miracles and monsters (one of which was killed by some random 300 dude).

So I wouldn't say Amazoness are immediately able to instantly win agaisnt the Spartans. If anything they probably have to face them a few times just to get to know how they fight.

Also the Phalanx is a defensive position that is used only whem the enemy is charging right towards them, or that they have superior numbers. They also have spears which can viciously impale the Amazoness when they get too close and the Phalanx menoveur makes it clear it is used to advance on the enemy. Meaning they probably won't have much openings to circle them around.
