Synopsis
Excerpt from Sophocles, Vol. 4: The Plays and Fragments With Critical Notes, Commentary, and Translation in English Prose
The general impression made on Dion's mind by the play of Aeschylus was that of a Simplicity and dignity suitable to ideal Tragedy. It had an austere grandeur Of diction and Of sentiment which sustained the characters on the heroic levell; though in some respects the management of the plot was open to the cavils of a more critical and more prosaic age.

The Philoctetes explores a crucial episode in the Trojan War, where the Greeks, unable to capture Troy, learn an oracle has declared they must enlist Philoctetes, a skilled archer who was abandoned years ago on the island of Lemnos due to a venomous snake bite. A compelling tale of loyalty, betrayal, and heroism ensues, as Odysseus, known for his cunning, attempts to persuade Philoctetes to return to Troy with the promise of healing his wound. However, Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles, also plays a central role, torn between his loyalty to the Greek army and his growing sympathy for the abandoned Philoctetes. The author delves into the moral complexities of war and the power of compassion amidst conflict, ultimately revealing the profound human drama that unfolds during this pivotal moment in ancient Greek mythology.
