The Bow of Odysseus
A scene painted by the late Peter Connolly: Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, aims his great bow at a line of axes. The suitors have no idea what's about to (literally) hit them.
Homer's account of Odysseus's feat may owe something to an Egyptian anecdote about Pharoah Amenhotep II, who claimed he could shoot an arrow through a copper ingot one palm (3 inches) thick.
