Odysseus at Troy

Historically accurate rendering of Odysseus, during the events described in Homer's Iliad, Book 11, set during the 13th or early 12th centuries BC.
Based on extensive research on archaeological finds.
The sword and spearhead were found in Ithaca. For the chest plate and shield, I used finds from western Greece (Patra and Ioannina). I used the Warrior Vase from Mycenae as a reference for the shoes and greaves since apparently that design was more or less uniform across Late Bronze Age Greece. The boar tusk helmet was found in Spata, Attica. All finds belong to the Late Helladic III B-C periods (1300-1200 BC) which is the setting of the Trojan War. The only exception is the helmet which, being an heirloom, is supposed to be a few generations older and is dated between 1400 and 1300 BC (Late Helladic IIIA).
