The Cure at Troy: A Version of Sophocles' Philoctetes by Seamus Heaney

Reading Madeline Circe put me in the mood for more Odysseus, so I decided to reread this play that I've had on my shelves since college, and that I ostensibly wrote an essay about at some point. My annotations in the margins were uninspiring, though, so I suspect it was not a great essay.
I liked this play and its language quite a lot--it felt ancient and modern at the same time (an obvious interpretation, I know). The rhythm and near rhymes felt so fluid and moved the story quickly.
