Let's see shall we

Weapons

Diomedes has the immediate advantage that his weapons are both blessed by the gods and so are more durable and deadly than any mortal weapon. I'd hardly call Gram a mortal sword mind you but being anvil splitting sharp isn't quite on the same level as god wounding. Sure it is longer than the Mycenaean but Diomedes will be using the Dory primarily anyway which is both longer and as mentioned before deadlier.

Edge: Diomedes

Armour

There isn't really much to say in terms of armour; Diomedes' armour is impenetrable and Sigurd's isn't. Diomedes' armour also covers much more of his body and what it doesn't is covered by the Aspis so Sigurd is going to have an exceedingly difficult time finding any gaps to exploit. Sigurd's helmet of awe might throw a spanner into the works but it doesn't make his armour any better at actually protecting him.
