"Exodus" is the what the final scene is called in the play "Antigone" by ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the English word is a loan word from the ancient Greek. In ancient Greek, the word is written "ἔξοδος." The meaning of the word translates into English as "departure, expedition, procession." The play's final scene indeed is a departing procession which will culminate in Theban King Creon's exile.

How do Creon's initial reception and final treatment of Teiresias compare in their scene together in 'Antigone'?
