En dicha novela no se ve que sepan de que tipo de lanza se trata, solo describen aterrados lo que sus ojos ven

lanza con arpón (o púa)

My comment:

Para ser específicos, la lanza del ejército griego en sí, tenía dos puntas, en un extremo la cuchilla (de hierro, para posición de ataque) y en "la base" otra punta (de bronce, el arpón/púa) que podía servir para rematar al enemigo....

Slide 20: The main offensive weapon was the spear. • You would usually fight overhand as we’ll see. • Also had a spear butt spike in case the spear broke. • This was sometimes a problem as you could accidentally stab the guy behind you. • The butt spike could also be used to dispatch fallen enemies.

Slide 21: Modern recreations of a butt spike (top) and spearhead. • The spearhead was iron while the butt spike was bronze.

La punta de la lanza...

My comment:

La punta de la lanza, el doble de largo de una típica lanza espartana, le dio en el ojo.

Aracelli, mil disculpas por la respuesta imprecisa, ya que escribí muy rápido. Spear-butt spike es LA PUNTA POSTERIOR DE LA LANZA. Saludos, Roger
