Scholarly papers on leather Hellenic body armor?

[Dan Howard]

We have a little evidence for Greek leather armour during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. I don't think there is anything at all for Greek linen armour during this time period. All of the Greek sources cited for linen armour during this time talk about other cultures wearing it, not Greeks. Most of the evidence for Greek linen armour dates to the end of the Bronze Age. I'm inclined to think that both leather and linen armour was worn during the time in question but leather seems to have been more common. Agreed with Evan, if Greeks wore linen armour then it was quilted not glued. The glued linen armour theory is complete bollocks.
