Both on the battlefield and in times of peace, the profession of an archer was in great demand and always well appreciated. In addition to playing the role of a standard rear flank on battlefields, archers took a major role in defending shelters and castles. Obviously, archers also possessed the best hunting skills.
The twin gods Apollo and Artemis were masterful archers so it is only natural that they also functioned as the patron gods of archers. Philoctetes – one of the most famous shooters owned the mythical bow of Hercules.
The pawns depict this illustrious archer, the horsemen represent knights, the kings and queens radiate undisputed leadership, and the rocks look like classic Greek columns.
The chessboard is made of high-quality electroplated bronze. The chess pieces are made of zinc alloy using a modern injection moulding technique.
