Neoptolemus

Greek mythology

	[No title]
		Neoptolemos is surprised at this turn of events, for until then he had been promised that he alone could finish his father's work and conquer Troy.
		Neoptolemos, child of Lord Achilles, the greatest by far of our Greek fighters, I had to cast him away here: our masters, the princes, commanded me to, for disease had conquered him, and his foot was eaten away by festering sores.
		NEOPTOLEMOS It would not be a brave act for you or me. PHILOKTETES The lords of the army, the false heralds of the Greeks, are cowards in battle, however brave their words.

	Epirot Islands
		According to legend, Neoptolemos or Pyrros the late hero of Trojan war, sailed to the Epirote Islands and then became the king of Epirus exiling Odysseus after he killed a large number of suitors that pestered his wife, Penelope.
		Neoptolemos was son of Achilles by princess Deidamea daughter of Lycomedes, the King of Scyros.
		Neoptolemos did so, but in contrast to Achilles, who had previously shown mercy to Priam, her father and King of Troy, he also sacrificed him to Zeus.

		Neoptolemos is caught between these two extremes, drawn to each by the conflicting forces of admiration for Philoctetes and duty towards Odysseus.
		Although the coverage of the play's themes is necessarily curtailed by the scope of the series, a number of key themes that warrant inclusion are missing from the introduction and notes.
		There is no mention of the significance to the plot of movements towards and away from the shore, nor treatment of the sequence of aborted exits at lines 461, 533, 1179 and 1402 in the Greek text.

		When Neoptolemos tries to bring Andromache face to face with her little boy’s wet nurse, Andromache refuses to receive her.
		Neoptolemos tells Andromache that her son’s murder was an accident, that it was her own fault her little boy was walking around on the battlefield while the fight was going on - or maybe it was the wet nurse’s fault.
		Neoptolemos premiered on 13 April 1991 at Stichting FACT under the direction of Koos Terpstra.

		This particular set would mean that Philoctetes could enter the cave, after Neoptolemos has declared it empty, from the rear entrance and that Odysseus' 'surprise', that is unannounced, mid-line entrances of 974 and 1293 could be made from the cave itself.
		Odysseus' familiarity with the geography of the promontory was revealed during the opening scene of the play and Odysseus repeatedly expressed concern about being overheard from the cave at 11, 14, 22 and 29; in addition Philoctetes enters from the cave in response to noises that he hears in the orchestra at 1263-4.
		Neoptolemos had expressed the desire that Philoctetes should trust in the gods and in his logoi (1374-5), that his presence at Troy is necessary and that healing and fame await him there.

	New Scientist Breaking News - Gene therapy to treat deadly cancer
		The modified retrovirus carries a gene for an enzyme known as cytochrome P450 which is essentially a detoxifying gene, says Neoptolemos.
		Neoptolemos and his team are currently recruiting nine patients for a "proof of principle" trial - to test that the virus is indeed taken up by cancer cells when injected either locally or systemically.
		But Neoptolemos says that MetXia is a different type of gene therapy.

		But not all would agree here, and Sophokles has so constructed his play that when it seems that Philoktetes and Neoptolemos will leave for Greece, abandoning the Greeks to a fruitless siege of Troy, this is somehow morally and ethically the 'right' outcome (1361-1408).
		She assumes that most of the tale that the boy relates to Philoktetes at 343-90 is a fiction and thus views Neoptolemos as a "talented pupil" of the crafty Odysseus.
		There is no reason to regard the description of Neoptolemos' arrival at 354-60 as a fiction.

		Neoptolemos asks "Is it possible for me to look at it from close, and to hold it and kiss it as though it were a god?" (656-57) This bow will take Troy (1431ff), and help Philoctetes to take spoils (SKULA) in the sack of the city.
		Odysseus asks Neoptolemos to go against his natural noble character, and to lend himself to lies for a short time for a long-term goal.
		Neoptolemos, as he feigns a departure, makes a cursory prayer (in the optative) for Philoctetes' health: And may the gods relieve you of your sickness, just as you wish yourself" (463).

	Hawthorne: The Act of Interpretation in Sophokles’ Philoktetes
		Before Philoktetes comes on stage, Neoptolemos takes the oracle as predictive, in order to distance himself emotionally from the man whom he intends to deceive (191-200).
		After the bow is stolen, the Chorus takes this earlier cue from Neoptolemos and reads Philoktetes’ situation as so bound up in fate that they can claim a complete freedom from responsibility for the deception plot in which they have just participated (1116-21).
		Later, deliberating about whether to run off with the bow, Neoptolemos invokes a prescriptive interpretation in strikingly “oracular” hexameters to justify his hesitation (839-42).

		Neoptolemos spoke in all the of the councils at Troy and no one could beat him in debates, with the exception of Odysseus and Nestor, he continues on to say that during battle Neoptolemos fought gallantly, and was always brave.
		During the battle all the men were afraid and cried, but Neoptolemos was never scared or cowardly.

	GBoH Cappadocia scenario
		The Perdicca’s side showed soon its vulnerability: Alketa didn’t take any action, Neoptolemos switched side along with some hundreds survivors since Eumenes, with his rather multilingual but highly efficient cavalry, crushed his army; much more decisive was the Cleitus’ change of party.
		Eumenes feared that is army, particularly the infantry, consisting of a fair amount of Macedonians, could desert to the enemy, subjugated by Craterus’ charisma: in order to avoid it, Eumenes kept secret to his army the identity of the enemy General saying that the action was a Neoptolemos’s redemption attempt.
		Plutarc wrote that Eumenes, ragged and bleeding, rode till the body of his old friend Craterus, and fell on his knee crying and cursing the destiny (and Neoptolemos) that had forced the two of them to fight to death.
