Joseph Arroyo moves to ban the dressing up as girls in the play because it would be "creepy"

Mr. Cavoli avoided the legal process of motioning

Play:
-Ulysses and Neo arrive on Lemnos and discuss their plan to bring Philoctetes back from the Trojan war
-takes place after Achilles dies and before the Trojan Horse
-Philoctetes was bitten by a snake on Lemnos and now smells badly and is in constant, severe pain
-Ulysses tells Neo that he has to talk to Philoctetes because Phil hates Ulysses
-Neo doesn't want to lie, but he does
-Phil gives Neo the bow of Hercules and Ulysses reappears and says that they will leave with the bow either way
-Phil is given the bow, but still doesn't wasn't to go
-Hercules appears and tells Phil that if he goes, he will become famous
-this is an example of Deus Ex Machina: a god appearing to solve a problem when the situation is the worst it could be
-it is usually viewed badly in modern society
-The Philoctetes is unique because Sophacles, Euripetes, ? and are believed to have written stories about Philoctetes, but only Sophacles's survived
