    Specifically Achilles’ soldiers - presumably wore armour that resembled ant thoraxes. Bit of a change from the standard boar’s tusk helmet popular on the day.

      I’ve always thought of it as a swarming thing.

        Bronze age armies were very small, so I’m not sure swarming was possible. Interesting thought though.
