Corinthians depicted their allies also in their vases.
This person is a hoplite of the Mora of Sparta proper carring avariation of the Chalkiokos Athena "Gorgoneion".
Kind regards

Well Gioi the "thalassa" you mentioned is wrong if the image is supposed to depict Thermopylae but "corrects" if depicts operations in the Thracian or Ionian coast.
If the second factor applies even shield devices are correct!!!

Nicely made Archaic Arkadian leader. His shield device excludes the possibility of being Dorean. Was a sword included in the kit?
Kind regards

If you scratch build ti then the longer version of the hoplite sword fits the period.
Best...

Ver very nice. One of the few times I like the boeotean shield(perhaps because I see an orignal device found in olympia?). Only one flaw and this is not Dimitris' fault. The crest should be transverse. I have seen it like this some times and this is because the sculpture from the Siphnian treasure it was designed after is a bit confusing.
