A facing up to accidents, commissions, mistakes and omissions is what recognition is in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, recognition happens with Theban King Creon. It is foreshadowed by Creon's reversing his non-burial edict regarding his nephew Polyneices and seeking to release his niece, Princess Antigone, from her live burial. But it actually occurs just before the chorus' last closing comment. It takes place when Creon is led away blubbering about losing everyone and everything because of his foolishness, offensiveness and stubbornness.
