Herakles' Bow was a legendary bow which was believed to have once belonged to the mighty Greek hero Herakles. Made of bone, with sharp, tooth-like spikes running along its limbs, the bow emulated the strength of its namesake.
During the Peloponnesian War, the bow was kept in a chest in the Koinyra Fortress on the Greek island of Thasos. When the Spartan misthios Kassandra infiltrated the fort, she found the bow and took it for herself.[1]
