The Cure at Troy
Seamus Heaney
Seamus Heaney's version of Sophocles' "Philoctetes" dramatizes the conflict between personal integrity and political expediency and explores ways in which the victims of injustice can become as devoted to the contemplation of their wounded as the perpetrators are to justifying their system.
