Greek soldiers

“’Exulting in the tawny covering of a she-wolf, such as his foster-parent was.’ Alluding to the custom on the part of the ancient heroes of arraying themselves in the skins of wild animals, in order to strike more terror into the foe and of either making a part of the hide answer the purposes of a helmet, or decking the helmet with it, Genetricis.” — Anthon, 1891
