Quote:I often wonder about the Sea Peoples and the Greeks. I found the armour in AW Vol III: issue 3 article "seven against Thebes" very similar to the armour depicted as being worn by the Sea Peoples.

That's because the speculative reconstructions in that article were based on Sea People illustrations - more circular reasoning.
