Abstract

In Philoctetes Sophocles gives great relevance to the relationship between the protagonist and the natural environment of the island of Lemnos; the hero, abandoned by his comrades-in-arms because of his infected wound, lives here for ten years in total solitude. The present work analyses in particular the passages (vv. 927-62, 1081-1217, 1452- 68) in which this relationship emerges strongly, through the use of refined expressive procedures and metric-rhythmic score. The originality of the theme proposed by Sophocles has influenced revisitations of the play in modern and contemporary times; some significant examples of rewritings, chosen from different eras, are cited here.
