Best Answer

Sisters and cousins is the relationship between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Antigone and Ismene are the daughters of disgraced Theban monarchs Oedipus and Jocasta. Their parents both are direct descendants of Cadmus, Thebes' founder and first king, but by different grandchildren. Their parents therefore are cousins to each other as are the sisters Antigone and Ismene.

How do Antigone and Ismene settle their differences in 'Antigone'?

Nothing indicates that differences are settled between Antigone and Ismene in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Ismene does not appear in the play after her explosive interaction with her sister Antigone during the latter's trial. Subsequently, Creon indicates that he will release Ismene, as innocent of wrongdoing, and punish Antigone, as the lone perpetrator.

What kind of relationship does Polyneices have with his two sisters and brother in 'Antigone'?

Devoted, hostile and weak are the respective kinds of relationships that Polyneices has with his two sisters and his brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the relationship between Polyneices and his sister Antigone is devoted, positive, respectful and strong. His relationship with his twin brother Eteocles is negative. Polyneices' relationship with his youngest sister Ismene appears to be weak since Ismene seems unaffected and unconcerned about Polyneices' body being consumed by birds and dogs.
