This is the full, extended version of Accursed Philoctetes.

How and why you may ask could there be a full play about a spinoff story from the Trojan War Cycle?

How and why would you find this myth about a middling Greek hero whose fame/notoriety is due to the stench from an infected foot worthy of your or anyone else's attention?

Philoctetes is not exactly heroic, more of a victim, and he whines alot about his mistreatment, but on the other hand he does have a point. He was treated shabbily by his Greek peers, especially when he has, in his possession, the arms of mighty Hercules.

Good questions.

Listen in and maybe after that, you'll understand.

Or maybe not.

"Creator'"s note: apologies that I did not enlist other actors in this production, but my usual suspects have gotten oldier and busier and I was reluctant to disturb. Consider this then a template should any one feel a burning desire to do this unwieldy thing justice. In the meantime, I will slink back into my cave, sans, of course, the bow of Hercules.
