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.

Queen Eurydice hears the news and quietly goes inside the palace. The second messenger then makes an appearance to announce Eurydice's suicide.

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.

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.
