It is in the essential role of character witness and whistle blower that Eurydice plays in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Queen Eurydice decides to take her life rather than give her husband, King Creon, any more chances or company in this life. Her final words and messy suicide doom her husband because of the consistent track record that she offers of Creon as the cruel cause of the suicides of all her sons. She uncompromisingly points the finger of blame for royal and municipal suffering at her husband.

Is the aesthetic style of 'Antigone' epic or formal or theatrical?
The aesthetic style of 'Antigone' is theatrical. An epic style tells the story of the feats and genealogies of heroic figures. A formal style is recognized by its controls and restraints in dealing with emotion charged issues. A theatrical style is characterized by drama. An absence of heroic recountings and comprehensive bloodlines, an abundance of emotion, and the presence of drama describe 'Antigone'. So the play is neither epic nor formal, but indeed theatrical.

Is the play 'Antigone' fiction?
Yes, the play "Antigone" is a work of fiction in the sense that the actions and the dialogue are the product of the imagination of Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is unknown whether Sophocles' story is based on actual places, people and events. The only information on Theban Princess Antigone and her family comes from works of fiction meant to entertain and instruct cultured audiences in ancient Greece. But Sophocles' birth place was Colonus, the death place of Antigone's father. His adult life was spent in Athens, where the story of the Theban royal house was well known. Antigone's story therefore was either purely a popular work of fiction or one based on fact.
