About this audiobook
"Philoktetes" is a tragedy play written by ancient Greek playwright, Sophocles. The story revolves around the title character, Philoktetes, who was abandoned on a deserted island by his fellow comrades during the Trojan War because of his unbearable, festering wound and its foul smell. The hero Odysseus and young Neoptolemus are sent back to retrieve him in order to fulfill a prophecy that Philoktetes and his magic bow and arrows are critical for the Greeks to win the war. The tale explores themes of morality, suffering, and the human condition, challenging the concepts of heroism and duty.
