This 1955 edition of “Philoktetes“, an ancient Greek tragedy by Sophocles, presents a classic tale of isolation, loyalty, and redemption. Beautifully translated from Greek, this volume brings to life the emotional intensity of Philoctetes’ story — a skilled archer left to suffer alone, only to be sought out years later by those who once abandoned him. With timeless themes of human resilience and forgiveness, this book is an essential piece for lovers of classic literature and Greek drama.
