Splendid homage to the great warriors…
Thanks man. I don’t know about you, but I grew up on Greek mythology so it is close to my heart…
Herodotus wrote of their dress, culture and customs. He also told you about the type of oil they used. It doesn’t matter who he met, he learned everything he could about the type of oil they had, how they refined it and what it was good for…
He stand tall and proud!!!!
They were a proud race, but they had something to take pride in
The red spike is cool. I am sure that is not the correct term.
The commonly accepted term is crest
This is good already. The cloak can perfect the appearance as long as they wear it outside the battle, don’t they?
Whether or not they wore it into battle is a point of contention with historians…
No eyewitness is troublesome!
Herodotus wrote extensively of the Spartans in his Histories, but I guess he never actually watched them in battle
Then, what is the main base of his writing you think?
