It is with those who do not raise arms against Thebesthat the chorus' sympathy lies at the beginning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the single antistrophe, the two strophes and the four systemas of the chorus criticize Polyneices for raising an army of disgruntled Thebans and invading Argives against his hometown of Thebes. They gloat about their victory and the upcoming dances and songs inspired by Bacchus the wine god. But they are not impartial since they withhold the information that Polyneices is in the right for asserting his legitimate claim to the Theban throne and that his twin brother Eteocles and his uncle Creon are in the wrong for persisting in their illegal occupation of that throne.
The chorus, at the beginning of Act II.
The recent civil war over the royal succession are the storms threatening to destroy the ship of state according to Creon's first words to the chorus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the civil war's last battle is fought the day before Creon addresses the chorus of Theban elders. Its origins lie in Theban King Creon's nephew Eteocles refusing to honor the joint power sharing arrangement by which he is to alternate years of rule with his twin brother Polyneices. Polyneices loses the battle, but his legitimate claim subsequently is vindicated when his line triumphs once and for all over Eteocles' line.
"I shall be content to lie beside a brother whom I love. We have only a little time to please the living, but all eternity to love the dead" she says this as planning to bury her brother Polynices against the king's wishes.
That her uncle orders the body to be exposed again after the first burial attempt is the reason why Antigone buries her brother twice in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon anticipates violations of his unpopular edict of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. He has guards patrol the areas where the bodies of the unburied dead lie. The guards locate the partially buried body of Polyneices, Princess Antigone's brother, and re-expose him. Antigone returns to check up on her work, reburies him and is captured to be brought in for questioning and sentencing.
That it is a lie is the reason why Antigone refuses to permit Ismene to share responsibility for burying Polyneices in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigones asks her sister Ismene to help give their brother Polyneices' body a proper below-ground burial. Ismene refuses out of fear of the death penalty for breaking one of their uncle King Creon's laws. Antigone seeks capture for giving Polyneices a partial burial under a layer of dust because the royal law contradicts divine will and Theban traditions. She wants to make a statement in suffering the consequences and not to have anything to do with a sister whom she considers base.
Yes, sympathy lies with Creon at the beginning of "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the direction of the sympathy is indicated by the chorus and its leader. Theban King Creon is admired for seeing Thebes through the recent civil war over the royal succession. But the ultimate dissipation of that sympathy is foreshadowed by Creon's own admission that he has opponents who plot in secret against him.

Yes it does in some way but it also has a soft beat to in the chorus's.

Honesty may good but it doesn't mean it is always kind. Sympathy is about caring for feelings and agreeing with others on their opinion's so Sympathy isn't all about sucking up to your friends to make them feel better no and they probably no your telling a white lie. so inconclusion Sympathy is better than Honesty because it is about caring, friendship and confidence boosts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beginning of a beautiful lie.
