Quote:The description for the Spolades/Stolades appears in the Anabasis.Which book(s) and line(s)?
Quote:As you'll read, the term Lino thorax only appears a few times and it's not in the context that makes it ever clear it's more than a belly corselet.From the two instances (in Homer) I've seen, the word isn't given any description or definition at all. But as I've pointed out, thorakes elsewhere in the Iliad are put on the chest, so isn't it reasonable to think that linothorax is also chest armour?

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.
