In Sophocles' "Antigone," Apollo is not a character but rather a significant figure in Greek mythology, representing order, prophecy, and the arts. He is the god associated with oracles, particularly the Oracle of Delphi, and embodies themes of justice and moral law, which are central to the play's conflict. While Apollo does not appear directly, his influence is felt through the characters' actions and decisions, particularly regarding fate and divine law.

Why does Antigone compare herself to Niobe in 'Antigone'?

That they each offend a very important person, face divine curses and deal with unburied Theban dead are reasons why Antigone compares herself to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide what to do about an unburied dead brother. Lydian Princess Niobe, wife of Theban wall builder Amphion, must deal with her unburied dead children. Their predicaments are aggravated by divine curses and offensive attitudes and behaviors towards very important people. For example, Antigone offends Creon, her uncle and her sovereign, while Niobe is offensive to Leto, goddess and mother of Zeus' children Apollo and Artemis.


What is the chorus' reaction when Antigone compares herself to Niobe in 'Antigone'?

That they remind her of Niobe's divinity and equal powerlessness against fate is the chorus' reaction when Antigone compares herself to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is punished for breaking her uncle King Creon's law by burying her brother Polyneices. She is sentenced to live burial inside a remote cave. The punishment may be likened to that of Tantalian Princess Niobe, who is cursed by the mother of Apollo the god of prophecy and Artemis the goddess of the hunt. She loses all of her children, who are left unburied for nine days. She then turns into a stone.
