Line 6: Though [[Euripides]] and [[Aeschylus]] also wrote plays on the character, only [[Sophocles]]' version survives. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''Philoctetes'' contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Angst]]: Philoctetes realizes it a lot . Line 19: * [[Parental Substitute]]: With Achilles out of the picture and Philoctetes having a positive remembrance of him, he starts to become this to Neoptolemus, who needs guidance. * [[Shoot the Dog]]: Odysseus. It is pragmatic both to bring Philoctetes to Troy so that the war will end and to trick him to do so because he would never agree of his own will. It's also totally [[Jerkass]] under the circumstances. * [[Third -Act Misunderstanding]]: As Neoptolemus begins to contemplate not forcing Philoctetes to go, Odysseus shows up, the lies are revealed and Philoctetes becomes very bitter and angry towards Neoptolemus, who is ultimately an honourable guy. * [[Tragedy]]: Don't let the happy ending fool you; the play is still a tragedy. * [[Wound That Will Not Heal]]: Philoctetes has a particularly smelly, festering one that he got from a snake for walking on sacred ground. Herakles convinces him to go to Troy partially because it will be healed at some point there.
