An Unfinished Dissertation
a: Unfinished dissertation ~
b: the wound of Philoctetes
What: "They stay because the unfinished dissertation is like the wound of Philoctetes in Greek mythology, a festering sore that never goes away. No mere albatross, it stigmatizes its owner in ways that usually leave permanent scars. Philoctetes himself was ostracized, and he became a suffering hero of tragic theater."
