Isn't that the camel from a pack of Camels? Wouldn't it be better if his shield were an "I Like Ike" campaign button? Wetman 14:02, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- Hee hee, very funny. Obviously something developed for Perl promotion, wouldn't be a bad pic if someone blanked the shield. Better to use something off a Greek vase though, no read need for artistic reconstructions. Stan 13:53, 22 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Artistic reconstructions can be very useful - it would be best to have both. The image used here is one of the standard illustrations of a hoplite, but of course, it usually has a lambda (http://public.srce.hr/husar/01-hoplite5.htm). I'd upload the proper version, but though it seems likely, I'm not sure if it's actually public domain. Josh
- well the current image is unverified, perhaps it would be no different if another unverified image were used. and besides, everyone knows the shield should say Python. mnemonic 09:38, 2004 Jun 23 (UTC)
I changed the image. This article is about hoplites, not Perl, the other was inappropriate. --Tothebarricades.tk 23:13, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
"one of the standard representations" isn't good enough. the image is almost certainly copyrighted. I suggest change to Image:Greek_Hoplite.jpg. [[User:Dbachmann|dab (T) ]] 19:04, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, that one is good. Stan 06:45, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
