Linothorax vs Quilted linen vs spolas
#71
Show me a greek tragedy abour homeric times where aspects of the distant past are present. You didn't comment on my point that Homer is a rather odd source,most scholars believing it is not a composition of a single man but the addition of details from different composers of different times. Now compare the pottery that is found in Athens alone or even more than originates in Athens. What if the t-y didn't originate in Athens? What if in Lesbos it was used a generation before it became popular in Athens? But the majority of pottery comes from Athens.
Anyway,my original point was that you rule out Alkaeus too easily.
Other than Alkaeus do we have other source saying that Chalkis was famous for its swords? Of what time? Does Homer mention anything about chalkidean swords?
