Ah yes Greek History, my forte.

I'll provide a summary.

  1. There was a chance encounter between the advance groups of both armies at the summit near the pass. They approached from opposite sides.
  2. The right half of the Macedonian phalanx was formed in double depth and they advanced downhill against the Roman left wing.
  3. Flamininus saw his only hope was attacking the Macedonian left. He had the elephants followed by his right wing go uphill against the enemy's left wing.
  4. The Macedonian left wing had arrived on the summit. They were still in column formation and thrown into disorder. They were easily routed and pursued. If matters had concluded right there, the result would have been indecisive with the loss of a wing on each side.
  5. The Roman victory was achieved through the initiative of a tribune, whose name is unknown. He abandoned his part and attacked the rear of the Macedonian right wing, taking twenty maniples.
  6. This was the first time Roman legions were victorious over a Macedonian phalanx

Hence, points 4 and 5 perhaps were where the tables were turned.

Hope it helps ;)
