After looking into the Trojan history and any established cartoons based on them or that era I discovered that the story of the trojan war was well documented by many greek artists. This has been turned into a modern day comic by marvel and will be a good source of information regarding costume and manorisms.

These cartoons of the trojan army will give me the references for creating the weapons and armor that my character will have. In my head he will be a skinny little man in armor that is slightly too big for him. Lovable but stupid. Im thinking about the possibilities of incorperating his horse even more stupid or perhaps the reverse, being more intelligent and helping our hapless hero. A similar relationship -if I remember- to Hercules and his horse pegasus.
