To report the suicides of Antigone, Eurydice and Haemonis the messenger's purpose in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the general role of the messenger is to add to the knowledge of the characters and the audience without complicating the stage and the plot with additional locations and actors. The precise purpose in this case is to bring news of the suicides of Theban Princess Antigone, Queen Eurydice and Prince Haemon. Additionally, the rules of ancient Greek drama forbid the onstage depiction of violence, and the messenger therefore is a way of getting around this prohibition.
That Antigone, Eurydice and Haemon are deadis what the messenger says in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the first messenger announces the suicides of Theban Princess Antigone and Prince Haemon at a cave outside Thebes. Haemon's body is brought down from the cave. The second messenger then makes the announcement of the suicide of Queen Eurydice, Haemon's mother and Antigone's aunt.
The messenger tells Creon that the buriels were dugged, but does not tell Creon who did though.
During the Exodus, the Messenger tells the story of how Antigone killed herself, and shortly afterwards, Haimon also kills himself.
creon was mad when the messenger told him that somone had tried to bury polynecies.
One messenger announces the deaths of Haemon and Antigone to Eurydice, another announces Eurydice's death to Creon.

It is in a lengthy onstage announcement delivered by a messenger that the fates of Antigone and Haemon are learned in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, death cannot be portrayed onstage according to the rules of ancient Greek drama. Theban Princess Antigone and her betrothed Prince Haemon commit suicide. Their deaths therefore have to be reported onstage by another character. A messenger or a servant tends to fill that informational role in ancient Greek theater.

One messenger announces the deaths of Haemon and Antigone to Eurydice, another announces Eurydice's death to Creon.
It is Antigone and Haemon and then Eurydice that the first and second messengers respectively report as dead in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the first messenger announces the suicides of Theban Princess Antigone and then of her first cousin and husband-to-be Prince Haemon. Queen Eurydice hears the news and quietly goes inside the palace. The second messenger then makes an appearance to announce Eurydice's suicide.

The particular page on which Antigone kills herself depends upon the edition being consulted for "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone's suicide takes place offstage. The audience learns of its occurrence through the messenger's report to the chorus leader. But whatever the edition, the suicide happens in the play's exodus, or last scene.
An observation on the inevitability of fate is the purpose of the choral ode that follows Antigone's final exit in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus gives examples of three mortals who suffer. One example recounts persecution that is followed by triumph and vengeance. The other two examples relate to less fortunate meetings with Dionysos the wine god and with fate. The ode therefore summarizes that Antigone's suffering fits in with the fate of a god-cursed line.
Yes, Antigone killed herself. According to the messenger, she hangs herself by her halter. Her first cousin and fiance Haemon manages to break through the walled up entrance to her cave. But he finds her already dead, and kills himself also.
