It’s always fun to see these takes, which really aren’t wrong (I’ve myself pointed out how terrible Sparta was), based solely on the helmet.
Especially when you know the name of the helmet. @journalismerrrhttps://twitter.com/BretDevereaux/status/1349500689295224840 …

That is not correct. The pilos type (and its eventually related konos type) are post-LBAC types. While Mycenean helmets are often conical, it doesn't seem to be a continuation of the same time.
It's also probably not correct to speak of the Corinthian helmet being a 'standard.' Care has to be exercised here; the Corinthian helmet is far over-represented in Greek artwork compared to its archaeological preservation, suggesting it was less common than the art implies.

In any event, the Corinthian helmet (like the Illyrian helmet) is oone of the older types; the CHalcidian, Konos, pilos and phrygian helmets the relatively newer types which emerged during the late archaic or classical periods.

A good start to read about this is T. Everson, Warfare in ANcient Greece: Arms and Armour from the Heroes of Homer to Alexander the Great (2005) and the older but still quite reliable A. Snodgrass Arms and Armour of the Greeks (1967)
