An ancient Roman bronze statuette of Odysseus, nude, lunging forward on his left leg, his muscular torso twisted, wearing a pilos helmet high on his head, with a full beard.



Odysseus' stance recalls his position on the massive sculptural group of the Blinding of the Cyclops Polyphemus from Sperlonga. The statuette may also represent Odysseus in his attempt with Diomedes to steal the Palladium from Troy.
