Well.probaly,as this woulkd make more sence. As for "pilos",I thought it comes from "pilima" which means felt. "kunas" has to do with the ancient word for dog, and I thought that dog skin caps were used by every kind of workers and slaves. The shape of the boeotian helmet(the one so popular in later macedonian cavalry" seems to have evolved from a felt(or was it dog skin after all) cap,that produced the characteristic shape of this helmet by the two straps,one for the chin and one for the back part of the head.
But Paul M, do you imply that the word kunas boiotikas refers to something like the famous pilos cap?
