Belief in gods and fate is Antigone's religious view in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone believes in the gods of Mount Olympus. She considers the gods as the sources of cherished Theban traditions for organizing life and preparing for death. She makes a promise to her father, disgraced Theban King Oedipus, that she will try to be happy all the while that she accepts her fate.

How is Antigone's religious belief a feminine role model in 'Antigone'?

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.
