Brauron Arachaeological Museum The slab depicts the myth of the stealing of the weapons owned by the Homeric hero Philoctetes. Philoctetes, rather old and ill, is represented in a bent position into a cave. At the background, behind the cave entrance, two male heads are visible. The first one, with a thick beard and a conical pilos, is identified with Odysseus. The other one, probably Diomedes, with thick hair styled in looks and a beard, dispossesses Philoctetes of his bow and quiver.
