an eagle
Wild eagle is the simile that is used to describe Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the term simile describes a comparison of two unlike objects by way of the linkage words "as," "like" or "than." The description fits the beginning lines in the parados by the chorus of Theban elders. The chorus members identify Polyneices as a proud, shrilly screaming and swooping eagle.
The guard describes Antigone as being "like a lioness," emphasizing her fierce determination and bravery in the face of authority. This simile highlights her strength and unwillingness to back down from her convictions, reflecting her bold character and defiance against the king's decree. The comparison underscores the intensity of her actions and the gravity of her situation.
Antigone says, "I belong to death," and "Is death not less than a friend"
An example of verbal irony in Antigone is the "good Creon". He is actually considered bad by Antigone and therefore her statement is ironic.
