Philoctetes, Sophocles, redress, revengeAbstract
The tragedy Philoctetes by Sophocles evokes the ethical dilemma of Neoptolemus, teetering between fulfilling Odysseus' orders and being faithful to his own character, doing justice to Achilles as a model of nobility. On this path, the protagonist is the halfway point, the stone on which the Achaeans stumble and step once again, waiting for some kind of reparation and perspective, to awaken him to the crossing of his traumatic narrative, something that only he can do for himself.
