Prison and wedding bower are the metaphors that Antigone uses to describe her tomb in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone is engaged but not yet married when she processes to her death by live burial. She mentions that her cave will serve as the bridal bower she will share with Hades the Underworld god. She notes that at the same time it never ceases to be her final prison.

No, Antigone does not use a shovel to bury her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone uses just her hands to bury her brother Polyneices.

Without her help, Antigone just has enough strength for a partial burial, whereby the body is left above ground and covered with a layer of dust.
