Wolf on Greek shields

[hoplite14gr]

Forget the "overenthusiastic people"!!!! :mrgreen:

In book 10 Voitika - Fokika Pausanias gives the info on "Itonia Athena" as battle cry.

He talks also about "Athena Ogga" while describing the house of Cadmos in Thebes.
Here is the Ancient Greek text:

Here is the article in Thēsauros tēs Hellēnikēs glōssēs, Volume 1 By Henri Estienne, Charles Labbé

The name Ogga appear aslo in Aschylos "7 vs Thebes" and Hysychios lexicon. The Lunar from of the goddess appears in P.Decharme "Hellenic Mythology" (sorry have only the Greek translation of 1961)

Hope I helped

Kind regards
