Greek helmets galore

[The Oracle]

Were you taught by someone or read somewhere that the Corinthian could not be worn this way or that the Apulo-corinthian was unrelated to this? Perhaps this is something that need correcting for a wider audience.

A very influencial book was T. Schäfer, Andres Agathoi. Studien zum Realitätsgehalt der Rüstung von Kriegern auf attischen Grabreliefs (1997), in which the thesis about the fictional position of the corinthian helmet was proposed, at least for me believable. ;-) )

But now I declare the discussion about corinthians closed!
If anyone wants to read about these, I strongly recommend the GOD of helmet-research, Emil Kunze, who published significant helmets from Olympia and established the typology of the "Kegelhelm", the illyrian, the corinthian and chalcidian helmets. Because the first three types are well represented from Olympia, Kunze wrote everything important about them down, but the chalcidian is in its late stages missing. These gaps are amazingly well filled by examples from the Guttmann collection, so my selection.

The postings from "MeinPanzer" brought me an idea:

IF ANYONE OF YOU CAN INFORM BE ABOUT HELMETS I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE, BUT ARE SIGNIFICANT FOR MY WORK, I WILL THANK HIM IN THE UPCOMING PUBLICATIONS!
