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.
