Quote:We do not have info that he was a SPARTOS (indigenous-autochthon) so the Beotian snake is not beyond doubt but not unlikely either.
Choose one of the 3 Doric tribes menandros decoration for the shield´s edge.
Feeling adventurous: Black dog's head with red eyes (Hecate´s hound) on bronze.
Kind regards
I like snakes (and they like me...) so that's a possibility, but the dog's head is also appealing. In either case, I'd need a picture to show me how they were presented ( in profile/full face, with coils/bends) and I don't know which of the menandroi are Doric. Can you suggest where I might research these things, please?
