Ulysses replies by describing, in similar verse, the island scenery, as he knew it long ago (IIJ. A Lemnian comes on the stage, and Ulysses questions him about the abode of Philoctetes (III), and learns how he clothes and feeds himself (IV), and how wild and dangerous is his temper (V, VI). Philoctetes describes, either in monologue or. to some friend, his painful sufferings (VII), his lonely home that rings with his cries (VIII), and his trust to his arrows for his daily food (IX); a use of weapons which, as a warrior, he despises (X). He espies and accosts Ulysses, whom he does not recognise, and whose arrival surprises him (XI); and, though he is ashamed to be found in his condition of savagery and squalor (XII), he conducts him to his cavern (XIII), and is drawn on to tell him the adventures of his companions in arms. He enquires about the Arms of Achilles, and bitterly regrets the award (XIV). The wily Ulysses seeks to win his confidence, and to gain possession of the coveted arrows. The arrival at this crisis of a Trojan embassy with tempting proposals, intending to conciliate Philoctetes and to rob him of his arrows, has half persuaded the hero (XV); but he remembers that it is a Phrygian Trojan who has been the source of all his woes (XVI). After a long struggle with conflicting feelings, the patriotism and self-respect of Philoctetes carry the day; and he turns aside from the temptations offered by the Trojans, and, in spite of his suffering (XVII) he accompanies the Greeks on board ther ship.
