Philoctetes in Wikipedia
Philoctetes (Greek: Φιλοκτήτης, Philoctētēs) or Philocthetes
according to Greek mythology, the son of King Poeas of
Meliboea in Thessaly. He was a Greek hero, famed as an archer,
and was a participant in the Trojan War. He was the subject of
at least two plays by Sophocles, one of which is named after
him, and one each by both Aeschylus and Euripides. However,
only one Sophoclean play survives-the others are lost. He is
also mentioned in Homer's Iliad; Book 2 describes his exile on
the island of Lemnos, his wound by snake-bite, and his
eventual recall by the Greeks. The recall of Philoctetes is
told in the lost epic Little Iliad, where his retrieval was
accomplished by Odysseus and Diomedes. Philoctetes killed
three men at Troy[1]...
