Ewan Thespians were Beotians and Beotians considred themselves Doreans.
Hence the rim decorations for Hylleis, Dymanes, Pamphileis (3 doric clans) apply.
The old aristokratic families of Beotian Spartoi sported a snake on their shields.
The rest of the Thespians sported a crecent because "lunar" Melena Afrodyte a manifestation of Hekate was the Patron Goddess of the city.
Heros god of love (Desire)had also a sinister warrior like look as a mlae sphinx creature. A Beotian medallion in the Boston Museum of Art is agood image.
Kind regards
