Neat map, but the Greeks chose a strange place for a seige camp.

I don't know if the location was that strange. Consider that the Greek galleys would be beached & vulnerable to counterattack. By siezing a defensible peninsula you protect you ships & supply lines back to Hellas.

Britain & France did much the same thing at Normandy.
