I've seen this before. Frankly it's been disproven: they based their reconstruction off of images of Leather Spolas, not of Linen Armor.

And glued linen falls apart when wet or sweaty, which is the second issue with their hypothesis.

AFAIK, the Linothorax was a quilted garment.

Feel free to correct me, those who know more about Greeks.
