Whee, hyperfixations!

They're so easy!
You can literally make a complete, almost perfectly authentic one with a bedsheet, a safety pin, and a length of ribbon. (The weave of the fabric and the *precise* shape of the safety pins are the inaccuracies!!!!! Yes, ancient Greeks had safety pins, look up "bow fibula", it's amazing. :D Well, and though a ribbon belt was an option historically a proper zoster was more likely to be leather, threaded with ribbon or yarn on the end to tie into a knot kinda like a corset rather than buckle.)
I've made one already, in a vague "Zagreus colors, why not?" color scheme, though it's hardly accurate to the game either.
I'm buying fabric to make at *least* two more, just gotta find a white I can stand, as I want to make Hadesgame Ares colored one, so white red and gold. White clothing is always suspect to me, but white *is* his main color, so...
