greek-museums:Archaeological Museum of Brauron:A marble slab from Merenda (before the middle of the 2nd century B.C)The slab depicts the stealing of the weapons of the homeric hero Philoctetes, who according to Euripides had been abandoned in Lemnos.Philoctetes rather old and ill is represented in a bent position inside a cave. At the background behind the cave’s entrance two male heads are visible. The first one with a thick beard and a conical pilos is identified as Odysseus. The other one with the thick hair styled in locks, and a beard, possibly Diomedes, dispossesses Philoctetes of his weapons. -- source link
