Warrior Clothing

Ancient Greek general clothing consisted of just a tunic with leather sandals, but warrior attire was completely different. Their outfits consisted of metal and chain-mail. They also had helmets with horse hair crest to make the warriors look taller and fiercer looking then they actually were. Their armor was not the best suited as in today's times as they only wore a chain-mail tunic bottom leaving their legs vulnerable and most likely had open spots on their chest pieces and they didn't have the technology to make sufficient working chest pieces like they did in mid evil times.
