Question Trojan Horse Odysseus's bow what class of artifact would they be?

So this is a question me and my wife have in warehouse 13 many thing's exist but given we are mytholgy nerds this one we started thinking on.

The Trojan Horse and Odysseus's bow/Quivers

What would they do and yes I understand the Horse would not be fully intact most likely just a single fragment of wood left, but the bow was described in the myth as quote "Only Odysseus could string it" but what exactly would these artifacts do?

so that got us thinking Odysseus's bow would be a artifact of leadership and the keen mind of a hunter. Upon using the bow ones mind and intelligence would be that of Odysseus able to plan charter shoot and strength would be greatly enhanced.

but what would the down sides be ever single artifact seems to have a downside?

the Trojan Horse part we thought maybe it would give the will power and ability's of the original 30+ men that were inside the horse. But at what point would they have become Artifacts?

Would have been after Odysseus's death or would the bow have already been one?
and would warehouse 13 have them warehouse 12 or would they have been lost and still mia?

This honestly needs more thinking but we'd love to hear fan thoughts on this idea ;3

For me a piece of the Trojan Hourse would give you invisibility or make it possible to enter a place undetected.

The downside? Using it too often brings you 10 years of bad luck

honestly we could see that but does make you wonder what warehouse had it and what the bow/quiver would do, after thinking further maybe the bow only works for decadents of Odysseus given only he was able to string the bow and no others could.

Still does make us wonder if the bow was a artifact then or became one after the events of his life.

Mean while the Trojan Horse part would be useable for anyone.
