The Shield of Achilles made by Hephaestus was described in my version of the Iliad in much detail.
The New Armor of Achilles-pg.225(the simplified notes)
Construction
-large and strong
-threefold rim?
-silver baldric
-five layers of hide under metal
Decoration
-Earth, Sky and Sea
-Sun and Full Moon
-Two Cities of Men
City 1 - Wedding Ceremony, Law scene(Argument over Blood Price of a killed man) ending with judgement by elders
City 2 - Siege and agriculture scenes
This is a very short description. There is much more detail that I omit as I give a basic Idea. I would (if possible) prefer a separate translation from original Greek though I know that is much to ask. The many versions/translations are confusing. :|
