Let him go. We don't need him.
Let him stay in this place. We have his bow.
Teuker is with us, and he is skillful,
and I can master those weapons too.
I aim straight as well. Why would we need you?
Goodbye. Goodbye to Lemnos.
Let's go. Perhaps soon I'll win
the prize and fame that belong to you.
PHILOKTETES
Oh, what will I do? Will you stand before the Greeks cloaked in the glory of my weapons?
ODYSSEUS
Don't speak to me. We are leaving now.
PHILOKTETES
You have nothing to say to me, son of Achilles?
Will you leave without a word?
ODYSSEUS
Come along now, boy. Don't look at him, even though your spirit prompts you to. That may destroy the advantage we have won.
