Remember that Pyrrha and Achilles both effectively come from mirror cultures - Classical Bronze Age Greece. So, it's logical that their martial styles would be visually similar.

Before the Romans turned the sword into anything other than an over-sized dagger, the primary infantry and cavalry weapon was the spear, used as a thrusting, cutting and ranged weapon (the latter being something of a last resort - the longbow was the preferred ranged weapon, especially on the war chariot - the tank of the Bronze Age).
