The Greek Quiver

The most commonly depicted quiver in Greek art was the gorhytus, a side quiver common among the Scythians, but from a point onward the Greeks seem to have adopted it and perhaps even adapted it to their own needs. However there is another type of quiver in Greek artwork and literature which, despite being more rare, it must however be identified as the ethnic Greek quiver. It is a small, narrow, tubular quiver who hung on the back. It had a conical or semicircular or other shape cap which was tied to the quiver with a thong. Artemis is commonly, or almost exclusively carrying this type of quiver, and often Apollo as well. Heracles is more commonly carrying the gorhytus, perhaps reflecting his Scythian campaigns, but as one of the most prominent archers of the Greek world, he still has many depictions with the cylindrical quiver.
One of the most important references to the Greek quiver is made by Homer in the very beginning of the Iliad, where Apollo is running down to the Achaean camp, his closed quiver closed on his back, his silver arrows ringing inside. This video features a reconstruction of the Greek quiver by Gregory Liebau, and some of the ancient depictions it was based on.
