Greek Helmet Crests

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

OK,crests have been a popular theme to discuss,because none has been found intact, and relate to many different subjects,such as troop types,helmet types,generals,cites and other.Lets start a thread for everything "crested"

Continuing from another thread:
Paul,maybe the wrong thread,but lets bring again the crest issue in greek helmets.
The Italians were generally more wealthy than native Greeks,and this explains why there is so much frequency in crested helmets from Italy.
What about the corinthian helmets though?Some times they seem not to have any indication of crest holder,however there are indeed many times tiny holes,some times only one tiny hole just on the top of the helmet.Some times there are indications of crest only in the back and one major reason I think why we can't destinguish when a helmet had crest or not in the first glance,is that there seem to co-exist so many ways of attachment. It seems as if each craftsman had his own patent!
I may seem to push things a bit to far, but I'm just tired of atributing EVERY unexplained (yet) matter to artistic lisense.
