Excerpt from Classical Association Proceedings, January 1912, Vol. 9: With Rules and List of MembersWe possess two monuments from the lower town of My cenae which have always been recognised as illustrating many features of Homeric armour - the Warrior Vase, 2 and a stele with paintings of warriors of precisely the same type. Their equipment with chiton and thorex marks the intrusion of a new element into the armour of the Aegean area. The great body Shield with telamon, characteristic alike of the poems and of the older monuments, is absent: but the old type of helmet, without cheek pieces, and with the crest rising from a cup shaped socket, survives as it does in Homer. Except for the shields, which are all small, the men seem to be a fairly accurate presentment of the typical Homeric warrior.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
