Greetings folks, tried looking a few ways and not finding anything before I wasted the band width.
But just finished up my new shield, and about to start painting it. Have been looking at greek shield designs the last few months while waiting, just to see if something catches my eye. But well to be honest, I like wolves, and was curious, if anyone has seen anything of a wolf, any type, or maybe even a dog. Granted, have seen some dogs in designs, maybe not shields, but other things. But still no wolves.
Other than the story of Lycaon, and knowing that apparently wolves were revered in Athens, and I believe Hecate and maybe Athena, had an affinity for wolves, not finding much as far as seeing things on pottery or was hoping to find a shield device with a wolf on it.
So thought I would come to the brain trust, and see if anyone had seen anything.
Thanks
