CLAS 121 Meeting an Anti-Hero: Philoctetes 6 credits
Among Greek heroes, Achilles or Odysseus easily come to mind, while Philoctetes remains largely unknown. However, the story of this hero, who was abandoned by his comrades on the island of Lemnos at the eve of the Trojan War due to his foul-smelling wound, is one of resilience, rebirth and salvation. Through his complicated journey between betrayal and friendship, we will explore works from both Greek epic and tragedy, understanding how ancient myth can help us navigate conversations in the present times, from the burden of toxic masculinity to the importance of mental health.
