Odysseus is shown stringing his bow in The Return (2024). The challenge was to string the bow and shoot an arrow through 12 axes. I had no idea what this meant so I went looking. In fact, it's to shoot the arrow through the eye of the axes. What's the eye of an axe? It's the hole where the handle attaches to the blade.
