In "Antigone," the Chorus invokes several gods, including Zeus, the king of the gods, who represents divine authority; Apollo, associated with prophecy and truth; Dionysus, symbolizing life and death; and Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare. These deities embody the moral and divine laws that the characters grapple with throughout the play. Their references underscore the themes of fate, justice, and the consequences of defying divine law.
Zeus is the god's name in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Zeus is the chief god. Both Theban Princess Antigone and King Creon mention him. The chorus and characters reference other gods as well: Aries the war god, Bacchus the wine god, Hades the Underworld god and Persephone the Underworld goddess.
In the play 'Antigone' some of the gods specifically are mentioned by name. For example, reference is made to Aphrodite, Bacchus, Pallas, Persephone, Pluto, and Zeus. Other gods generally are mentioned by attribute. For example, the fire and war gods are mentioned by the particular quality for which they're consulted and worshipped.
Oh, dude, in 'Antigone,' the chorus talks about the gods like they're some kind of divine office workers. So, you've got Zeus, who's like the big boss in charge of everything, then there's Hermes, the messenger god, probably delivering all those heavenly memos. Hades is chilling in the underworld, and Apollo is the god of prophecy, like your personal psychic hotline. They're basically the ultimate power squad in Greek mythology, keeping things interesting up on Mount Olympus.
Theban King Creon mentions only the chief god Zeus by name in 'Antigone'. Otherwise, his references are indirect in terms of Thebes' gods. For example, he speaks of Hades in terms of the underworld location of a mortal's afterlife. But nowhere does he mention the underworld god or the members of the underworld divine family by name.
Creon's wife's name in Antigone is Eurydice.
