Ancient Greek Textiles

Does anyone know a great book (and fairly easy to get access to) or where I can get information about ancient Greek textiles? I am looking at doing more research about the linothorax and am having trouble finding documentation on it. I realize textiles don't always survive from Greece and the surrounding areas, but there are some out there.

Thanks.

I have a couple of books on ancient textiles (and have read a couple more) and they don't contain any information on the linothorax or anything else that would be helpful in your research, unfortunately. Are you familiar with the thread on Roman Army talk about Linothorax design and construction?

Best regards,
