Hi Dan,
I look forward to seeing that in print - please let us know references when its out. I haven't done anywhere near the in depth analysis you have so I defer to you. I only looked for references which would support the 'tower-like' shield of the double figure on Agora P4885 as being from the Iliad. I can't find an image on line but I will be giving a paper on the scene at ASCS XXVII in Hobart in late Jan/early Feb.
Incidentally I heard a paper from Mary Galvin from Newcastle on 'Helmets and the Iliad' in May at Sydney - she seems to have done a similar in depth study of helmet references - is he an acquantaince?
Incidentally this scene is the only depiction AFAIK of tetraphaleros helmets in Greek art.
Cheers
Murray
