Thanks again Dan.
What I said in my previous reply about Homer was speculative.
He was possibly describing a helmet of hit time.
The "Tyrins" helmet reconstructed is Mr M. AMT's page here:
http://www.larp.com/hoplite/bronze.html
and the original here:
http://www.culture.gr/2/21/211/21104m/00/lk04m04b.jpg
I am inclined to believe that this is the helmet depicted on the image you mentioned but stil it is an edjucated guess.
I cannot rule out the military face mask in Ancient Greece but I don´t strongly support the idea.
For those who want access to images I can suggest: http://www.fhw.gr and follow the links to the area of you interests.
Kind regards
Stefanos
