About this book

On the way to Troy, Philoctetes is bitten by a snake and left behind on the deserted island of Lemnos. Nine years later the Greeks learn that they can capture Troy only if he is with them. Sophocles’ tragedy addresses how one can motivate an individual treated in such a way to support those who are responsible for that treatment.

Reviews

"[...] this is a strong contribution to a valuable series." P.J. Finglass in: Exemparia Classica 22 (2018), 221-223

"The volume is most valuable for the reader without any Greek who wants the translation at one extreme and the Hellenist working on the play at the other. Its strengths are philological, and philologists will want to consult it." Ann Arber/Ruth Scodel in: Gnomon, 2020, H. 4, 362-363

"Unterm Strich ist aber der Band als Ganzes geradezu ohne Einschränkungen zu begrüßen. Wie angekündigt erhält der Leser und Liebhaber vielfältigste Informationen und eine kaum genügend zu würdigende Einführung in einen – trotz oder wegen knapp zweieinhalbtausend Jahre Beschäftigung und Wirkungsgeschichte – nicht leicht zugänglichen Gegenstand. [...] So wünscht abschließend zumindest der Rezensent der ganzenReihe2 alles Gute und hofft darauf, dass noch möglichst viele weitere, ähnlichbelehrend-anregende Bände erscheinen werden." Friedemann Weitz in: Göttinger Forum für Altertumswissenschaften, 2019, Bd. 22, 1084-1091
