That it emphasizes a devotion that is self-effacing is the way in which Antigone's religious belief is a feminine role model in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone comes across an instance in which her brother is being denied his religious rights as a Theban to a below ground burial. Antigone decides to honor those rights even though the act involves breaking her uncle King Creon's law and carries the death penalty. Antigone therefore role models the very obedient, self-sacrificing behavior for which she criticizes her sister Princess Ismene.
