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.

His offense is his opposition to Dionysos the wine god. His punishment is dismemberment. The same offense is committed and similar punishment therefore is meted out to Antigone's great-grandfather Labdacus and her great-great uncle Pentheus.

That she is the cursed daughter of a cursed royal house and that her fate is to die in defense of her family and gods is Antigone's self-awareness in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone calls herself the cursed daughter of cursed parents, disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. She also considers herself the cursed direct maternal and paternal descendant of the cursed royal house of Labdacus so offensive to Dionysos the wine god. She is aware that her fate is to die in defense of her family and divine law even though the gods are supposed to be the ultimate authority in life and death.
