Bear in mind that, facing the Hoplite, those items of armour would be all you'd see, because the shield should cover everything the helmet and greaves missed. Think of the proportions from that point of view. The greaves may be a little small, but may not be originally from the same panoply.
- I've just measured them, :oops: and the diameter of the shield is 2.2 x the height of the greave, where it should be (in my reckoning), nearer 1.8, so they are a bit small. Hawkeye Susanne!
