Gorytos (Bow Case and Quiver)
Annotations
Golden γωρυτός—a bow case and quiver—with a repoussé representation of a battle scene. From the tomb of Philip II of Macedon at Vergina (second half of the 4th c. BCE). Currently in the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. In Odyssey 21.54, Penelope goes to the storeroom and retrieves the bow of Odysseus, "with the γωρυτός around it."
