The
Corinthian helmet type is one of the most immediately recognizable
types of helmet, romantically associated with the great heroes of
Ancient Greece, even by the Ancient Greeks themselves who rapidly moved
to helmet types with better visibility, but still depicted their heroes
in these helmets. It was a helmet made of bronze which in its later
styles covered the entire head and neck, with slits for the eyes and
mouth. A large curved projection protected the nape of the neck. Out of
combat, a Greek hoplite would wear the helmet tipped upward for comfort.
Originals of these can be seen in museums across the world, but the
prototypes are in the Olympia museum in Greece.
Griffins were
mythical creatures symbol of wealth and prosperity and also guardians of
prized possessions. The mythical griffin had powerful wings, the body
of a lion and the beak of an eagle.
