Re: Show here your Greek warrior impression - Thersites - 05-21-2007
Thanks. I believe this also gives the right 'feeling' of an advancing phalanx . Pity some people still believe 'lambdas' are right for the period before c. 460 BC.

Colonist hoplite shield from Ionia. Still under research. Probalby from fratria rather than city state.
Kind regards

Certainly... you are right. That was a pity and a concession to the Dark side of the Force (remember... easier and quicker way to reach the objective). And these mistakes should be corrected ASAP.
However, the overall effect of the 'phalanx' was striking, and the didactic approach was not bad. I've seen much worse over the years. This particular group is still very young and has to steer a clear course, which should mean avoiding plastics and some flagrant anacronisms.
This said, hoplite groups are rare and should be supported, while at the same time trying to maintain historical accuracy. Also, all groups have their skeletons in the cupboard!
Let me hasten to add that I do not belong to ANY reenactment group!

Isn't that supposed to be a minoan dolphin,like those in the "queen's rooms" frescoe in Knossos...but the style did not change a lot since classical times
