Quote:Based on that we can say Late Geometric Era but assuming he talks about Late Bronze Age items he has clearly seen (boar tusk helemt for example) We can speculate that this armor existed in Greece from 1200 B.C.
I wouldn't be comfortable with such a speculation at present. Are there any Mycenaean depictions of the tube-and-yoke thorax? If not, I would think that if Homer's linothorax refers to something from Bronze Age, then it would probably be a different style.

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.
