"Philoctetes, the skilled archer left behind on Lemnos due to a festering wound, played a crucial yet delayed role in the Trojan War. With the prophecy proclaiming that Troy could only fall with his bow, a relic from Heracles, he was eventually retrieved and his presence indeed marked a turning point in the war. Now back in Greece, he is lauded for his resilience and unmatched prowess with a bow."
