I would love to see Albert's interpetation of the thunderbolt casting Heros on the shield.
Kind regards

I will do some research on this. Hopefully I can come up with a good design.

Haha,Stefane,of all Erotes in Greek art,I pointed Albert to that same Eros from the same vase! Is that a coincidence? Maybe not,it's one of the best Erotes and the stance would fit to the purpose Albert would need it.
And yet another coincidence,I also pointed him to vases of ZXeus from the exact same site that you posted!!! :lol:

Well done.
Initially the shield device was for the Megarean aristocrats but at a later time perhaps it was carried only by the Megarean General.
This typo of fighter might have been in Platea or the less well know repulse of a Persian raid at 480 B.C. at the same time as Salamis.
Kind regards

Whoa, that's fantastic Demetrios. Nice work, as usual!
Looking at the Romeo site, it's a little frustrating to see that most people have the idea that only the Lokrians had double or triple crested helmets. Why is this misinformation so widely regarded as fact? Is it because of Christos Gianopoulos' artwork?
