Museums always call mitrai 'belly guards' when in fact they suspend from a cuirass and protect a warrior's genitals and the vulnerable femoral arteries. This is the awful reality of warfare - a good stab to that area will cause a man to bleed out in a couple of minutes. 💀 😱 🏺

![One of two bronze Archaic Cretan helmets at the Met Museum, the finest pieces of a large cache of armor that came to light in southern central Crete, where they were undoubtedly made. It has a beautiful patina of bright greens and rich, deep orange-reds. The inscriptions suggest that the armor was captured as booty and offered as a dedication. This helmet depicts two long-legged horses worked in repoussé with incised details (one on each side). Small engraved lions appear on the cheekpieces. An inscription on the helmet states that “Synenitos the son of Euklotas [took this].”
Greek, Cretan, late 7th century BCE (Archaic). Said to be from Afrati, Crete.
Height: 9 5/8 in. (24.5 cm)
