PETASUS

PE´TASUS[PILLEUS]

Petăsus

(πέτασος). A flat felt hat, with a broad and round brim, usually worn among the Thessalians. The brim is often parted into four bowshaped indentations. It is said to have been introduced into Greece along with the chlamys as a distinguishing mark of the ephebi. Hermes is usually represented with the winged petasus. The Romans wore a similar hat in the country, and when travelling; in the city it was generally used only in the theatre, as a protection from the sun (Suet. Aug. 82). See pilleus.
