[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 3617505, member: 57495"]Great story, indeed! I read up on Philoktetes when I first bought a Lamian coin with him on the reverse shooting at his birds, but, not surprisingly, your write-up adds much more to what came up on my cursory Google searches. I love the reverse of this one. Philoktetes is posed slightly differently than he is on yours.
