Thanks Arthes, nice page. Just as a note, if you're using Firefox and having no joy with the images, try using IE instead.

Southern Greeks had trading posts on the cost i.e. Podiea, Amphipolis.
So the guy with the corinthian helmet is not ahistorical at all and the finding are not supposed to be surprizing.
Possibly the Thracians intrduced the Skythian saddle to the Southern Greeks or the Doreans got the secret from them (legend of Herkules and Diomedes horses). The horns on helemts were possibly a continuationa of the Bronze age "solar bull" tradition.
Kind regards
