The Cure at Troy is subtitled 'A version of Sophocles' Philoctetes'. What kind of version? Is it, like the translation of Aeschylus's Agamemnon known to Terence Rattigan's audiences as The Browning Version,1 severely literal? Or is it more like Pope's Iliad, on which Richard Bentley rightly commented, 'it is a pretty poem, Mr Pope; but you must not call it Homer'?2 Whereabouts on the scale between these two extreme types of 'version' does Heaney's work belong?KeywordsClassical LiteratureGood DeedGreek TragedyGreek TextParadise LostThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
