[edit]

After the death of Paris, his brothers Diephobus and Helenus fight over Helen, and she is awarded to Diephobus. Helenus leaves Troy but is captured by Odysseus. Helenus, a seer, tells the Greeks that they need the weapons of Heracles in order to defeat Troy. These are in the possession of Philoctetes, who has been left behind on Lemnos. Odysseus retrieves Philoctetes and the requisite weapons, with which Philoctetes then kills Paris?!? Clarification please.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.149.116.145 (talk) 03:00, 15 May 2005 (UTC) I've read Napoli's book and I'm in love with it.  Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.127.150.94 (talk) 01:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Added the references to Gide and to Wilson; and clarified that Neoptolomus appears in Sophocles' version of the myth. ---- Rick Lightburn, Jan. 20, 2006  Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.104.238.130 (talk)

Spellings as in 'did you mean'?

[edit]

Looking for Philoctetes and couldn't remember the correct spelling. How to provide more redirects for mispellings especially in difficult ones like this. I tried Philoctitese, Philocritese, Phyloctites, Pheloctitese. Is there a better vehicle than the talk page for providing mispellings to pull up the correct search.
