Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Odysseus and Neoptolemus arrive on a near-deserted island for the purpose of bringing Philoctetes back to Troy in hopes of fulfilling a prophecy of victory. Odysseus was one of the men who stranded Philoctetes there, after Philoctetes received an agonizing snake bite on his foot for walking on sacred ground. Odysseus persuades Neoptolemus to trick Philoctetes into coming with them, pretending that he is going home to Greece and also hates Odysseus. Neoptolemus, being mostly honest, rather reluctantly goes along with it and meets up with the pathetic figure of Philoctetes. |
