Linothorax design/construction

[Vishtaspa]

. Is there any textual evidence that Greeks used leather armor in the classical period?

As far as I know there is no reference in classical texts. The only hypothesis is that spolas means "leather garment", but this meaning is given by the late onomasticon by Pollux and spread by Liddell-Scott lexicon... and who knows... As somebody has said in the thread, "spolas" appears in Aristophanes Birds and has nothing to do with armour (nor with leather, the text gives no especifications)
