[History/Sources] What evidence of linothorax use by "Greeks"?

[Duguntz]

When you say 'Greeks', I assume you mean 'southern Greeks'? Athenians, Spartans, Epirotes, Corinthians, Thebans etc.

Not including Macedonians, Thessalians, or Thracians, who weren't considered 'Greek' by the Athenians, but Hellenised barbarians - or the later Seleucids, Ptolemies, Baktrians, etc, who aren't 'Greek' either but 'Hellenic'.

Well, tehre's a difference between greek and Hellens. Greek is a people, Hellen is a culture. if greeks (like you like to say, southern greeks) didn't wear linothorax armour, that means that greeks didn't wear linothorax armour, but that hellenized population did.

The Linothorax is built around the idea of composite material, the resistance of the whole is more than the sum of the parts that go in

Works well until it gets moldy in the rain.

Yes, i dont think the europeans knew how to make the resistant to water glue made out of fish bladder

Hence why they would have been painted.

or they could just cover it all up with leather ?

Then they'd look like they were from a post apocalyptic Australia.
