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 …

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)

For more technical notes relatively recently, see A. Schwartz, Reinstating the Hoplite (2009), but be aware that not all of Schwartz' positions are in general acceptance (because the hoplite/phalanx debate); still, he's good on equipment.

Has a lot to do with when you ask. 7th century? More Corinthian and Illyrian types. 4th century? Corinthian is practically a dead type outside of S. Italy, with pilos/konos, Boeotian and Phrygian much more common.
