Thanks for the correction! Still trying to learn the original terms for the equipment in the panoply.
Not having a standard blazon is what I thought, but I wanted to ask. What was Athens' blazon during the Peloponnesian war then? If they had one that is.
I did eventually find a vase painting with what I think is an octopus. Sadly the artist preferred to draw a winged boar over the octopus... Still good to know that it is not just a modern depiction.
Thanks,
Chris
