#what happens between the trip from scyros and the infant being dropped from the wall

[rowanisawriter]

neoptolemus the fatherless son & odysseus the father whose son is basically a distant memory. their roadtrip from scyros keeps me up at night. what was that trip like. according to sophocles, neoptolemus starts out honorable, unwilling to lie or trick or ignore his conscience. how much did odysseus influence him, turn him into one of his many devices to end this war and get home. how much did odysseus do consciously, unconsciously, to get to the point where a kid was dropped from a wall and it was either him or neoptolemus who did it but we don’t know who. and we don’t know if it matters who
