What did Philoctetes have that could help the Greeks?
The story of Philoctetes is in Sophocles' play Philoctetes (not in the Iliad). Philoctetes had inherited Heracles' magical bow which according to a prophecy the Greeks needed in order to be able to conquer Troy. (Philoctetes' bow eventually killed Paris - one of the heroes who needed to be killed before the city could fall). Since Philoctetes had been marooned on the island of Lemnos during the voyage to Troy (Philoctetes' had a septic wound, the Greeks could no longer stand the sight or the smell of it) Odysseus and Diomedes set out for Lemnos to persuade Philoctetes to lend his magical bow.

What is an example from the theater of 'Deus ex machina'?
A simple example of the "Deus ex machina" motiv: In Sophocles' "Philoctetes", Philoctetes is about to hurt Ulysses and his son Neoptolemus, who came to the island of Lemnos, where Philoctetes was left by the Greek army, because he was hurt, and his wound smelled very bad. The idea to leave him in the island came from Ulysses. Now, Ulysses is sent by Agamemnon, the general of the crusade against the Trojans, to take from Philoctetes his weapons, who were given to him by Hercules himself. Philoctetes gets very frustrated, since he feels betrayed by his own army, and tries to kill Ulysses. At the very end, Hercules, a god himself, appears as "Deus ex machina" and convinces Philoctetes to swallow his anger and give his weapons to Ulysses, who will take them to Agamemnon.
