By hanging and by stabbing are the respective ways in which Antigone and her fiancé die in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is sentenced to die walled up in a remote cave. She chooses to hang herself with the halter of her own dress. When her fiancé Haemon comes to rescue her, he is so distraught at the suicide and over a failed attempt at killing his father that he stabs himself with his own sword.
