Show here your Greek warrior impression

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

The armour that you guys are imaginning is not a linothorax,nor a spolas,which apparently has some metal plates hidden under or within it. It is a metal cuirass,that is covered in fabric or thin leather. I will remind once more that there is no indication that the vergina cuirass was ever covered by anything! I will also suggest that those plates would most probably have been of bronze if they existed. Not iron. And given the huge amount of helmets and greaves,and even the substantian find of arm and leg guartds that were dedicated on sanctuaries and that we now find often intact,it is at least suspicious that we have not found any piece big enough that could be even identified as part of the covered cuirass. The vergina cuirass was very identifiable as such even in the state it was found,even if it is iron.
So ok,it is fun to speculate,but i can't understand how one can "certainly see" such metal plates within those cuirasses.
As for flexibility in representations,of course i didn't mean that when we see a man standing,this cuirass seems flexible,but rather when we see stances where if it was flexible,it would be visible,this indeed happens. For example when they bent.I will agree though that these are not to be trusted very much,and base an arguement only on this.
