The two clues to contents are the mention of the Argolid and the Bistones, which has led to the hypothesis that this is about Heracles and the horses of Bistonian (or Thracian) Diomedes. These were man-eating mares that Heracles took to Eurystheus in Argolis, after killing Diomedes. What parts and how much of the story Callimachus told is not known.
