Marcus:
Crete had its own variant of the Corinthian helmet, without a nasal, with an almost straight lower edge and with subtle scalloping along the cheekline. The Metropolitan Museum in New York has two such helmets and they are to my eyes two of the very handsomest of all Classical helmets. I have pics I can email to you if you don't have them already.
