From epic helmet to bucket. Nice job Sparta.

I didn't realize helmets were so interesting.

The Boeotian and Thracian Helmets are my favorite greek-related helmets

It would be a change of pace if there was a sports, school, or college name of Athenians instead of always the Spartans.

Fascinating. What a development. So one gave way to the other.

Any chance you could look into early medieval helmets? I sure would like to know about the development of helmets from the Roman Empire to the Frankish.

Thank you for your contribution to human history. Hopefully you are forever remembered in cyber history same as how we rememeber Herodotus, Xenophon, Sima Qian, and Ibn Khaldun are remembered

Thought we were going to have a face reveal for a second! There's something very phallic about the latter Corinthian helmets. Apologies for lowering the tone.

I always had the feeling tha Epimetheus was a talking hand.

My school, McHenry High School, were called the warriors. We also had Greek/ Spartan inspiration for our mascot, Leonidas :))

[j.c.k.]

Would love to see eastern or Iberian helmets next.

The 500 b.c corinthian helmet was the best and the most iconic from my personal view! Great video as always 👍🙏🏻

[GrungeHead]

What a perfect time to post this video, now that AC Odyssey is out. Awesome video bro!

[shayeyarnell]

I attended San Gorgonio High School in San Bernardino, CA and our mascot is a Spartan. I am on the committee for our 50th reunion next year and am looking for decorations, which is what led me to this site. Thank you for the info...it explains a lot.

University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Spartans. Although the half of our gear has Minerva and we have several Minerva statues on campus.

The chalcidian is personally my favorite for its more open viewing and open hearing while keeping great protection

Hi, I'm from Germany, and for 2 main reasons you don't come across the spartan helmet as a logo for schools, universities or sportsclubs so much. First most institutions here where founded prior to the Renaissance and secondly academics here aren't comfortable with glorifying spartan society, history or ethos because of the nazis obsession for it and how they used it as part of their justification to "purify" the Arian race from the sick, disabled, gay or "inferior races.

I greatly enjoy your videos keep up the great work.

I'm making armor for a drag show haha this video was very useful, thank you for your work! The illustrations are super clear and helpful, I can see which styles would be best for what I'm looking for. Keep up the good work man 🤘

THIS IS AWESOME! I wonder what ancient middle eastern civilizations like the Israelites, Babylonian, Assyrians, & etc had as helmets...
