The stand-still situation is threatening to undermine the national unity. The cunningGreek leaderOdysseus decides on a secretmovewhich includes retrieving Philoctetes - the legendary Greek hero from the early days of the war. Philoctetes was bitten by a poisonous snake and suffered from a painful wound which continuously bled out and gave off a foul smell. After losing his combat abilities and due to his cries of pain, Odysseus forced Philoctetes off the boat onto an island and left him there. Now, 10 years later, Odysseus returns to the island in order to find Philoctetes who was once his brother in arms and is now his bitter enemy. Odysseus brings with him the young son of Achilles - Neoptolemus and together they attempt to appease Philoctetes and recruit him back to the war effort. “The sensitive meeting with the exiled national hero after years of suffering, loneliness and deep insult turns into a fascinating flurry of political and emotional manipulations leading to the unexpected ending in which quite expectedly a sophisticated political move once again tramples moral principles. ~~ " ~ ~ " ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~
