" Philoctetes, son of Poeas, king of Malis, having on the 

 voyage to Troy been bitten by a water snake and his wound 

 having become noisome, was left by the Greeks in Lemnos. 

 Afterwards they learned that Troy could not be taken 

 without Philoctetes and the arrows which he had received 

 from Heracles. So he was brought to Troy by Odysseus, and 

 his wound being healed by Machaon he slew Paris.
