I've never understood why we ought to take the crest coming from the Carians at face value.
I am NOT saying that the Greeks did not borrow from other cultures: it's pretty obvious that happened to a large extent (as to all people, at all times). It's just that it seems like such an easy to arrive at universal item that it doesn't really need a specific progenitor anymore than, say, underwear or the bow.
