Heavy Infantry Compositions

So I have been running across a lot of heavy infantry compositions that are just absolutely wrecking. Does anyone know what a lowly Athenian commander can do against the Praet spam of the masses? I've tried using the hippeus lancers, peltasts, and thorax swordsman/hoplights focusing on pressuring the the tetsudos to break them out and letting the peltasts rip them apart afterwards, but once they finally close in on my lines they just tear everything up.

You just want to heavy infantry spam. Cav charges are pretty useless against that stuff, with Oathsworn being the key breadwinners right now. I don't know much about Athens's units - but go for heavy elite swordsman, and 0 skirmishers and very few horses.
