Dear JP,
check the enclosed link. link from old RAT I think it'll also provide an answer to your last question about the rituals involving pouring liquids on shields.
Some scenes include a companion, these come in different flavors: sometimes they wear light armour, sometimes just a cloak and a spear. Like the one in the attached image. The absensce of facial hair indicates that the companion is a young man, perhaps an adolescent?

Quote:- The appearance of servants (that went along the hoplite on campaign): (were they usually older or younger man than the hoplite?); were they armed also?

some Swedish pancake in a purloined panoply lop their lower limbs off! - Paul Allen, Thespian
