How will Antigone gain a death without honor in 'Antigone'?

It is in obeying divine will and disobeying royal lawthat Antigone will gain a death without honor in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone faces punishment no matter what she does or does not do. Two authority figures offer conflicting guidelines. Antigone opts for honoring the gods and dishonoring Creon, her guardian, relative and sovereign.


How does fate bring about Antigone's downfall in 'Antigone' by Sophocles?

That she is presented with two choices, each of which lead to death, is the way in which fate brings about Antigone's downfall in "Antigone" by Sophocles (496 B.C.-406 B.C.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone hears that her brother Polyneices' body will be be left above-ground to the desecrations of weather and wildlife. She may honor the recent Theban law which condones this sacrilege. Or she may obey the ancient divine law which condemns the desecration and guarantees below-ground burials and funereal rites to all Thebans.Respecting Thebes' illegal law allows Antigone to live out her life in this world, but not in the underworld of the afterlife. Respecting eternal, divine law will result in her execution by her uncle, Theban King Creon, for disobeying his law. But it will gain her admission into the underworld.


In whom does Haimon believe authority lies?

In the play 'Antigone', Haemon tends to accept the authority of his father, Theban King Creon. In fact, he starts out saying, 'Father, I am thine; and thou, in thy wisdom, tracest for me rules which I shall follow. No marriage shall be deeemd by me a greater gain than thy good guidance'. But he counsels caution in the face of public opinion, and of genuine love for his first cousin and fiancee, Antigone. In fact, he responds to his father's question 'Am I to rule this land by other judgment than mine own?' with 'That is no city, which belongs to one man'. And of his fiancee, he says, 'No, not at my side - never think it - shall she perish' nor shalt thou ever set eyes more upon my face: - rave, then, with such friends as can endure thee'. As with Antigone, therefore, Haemon ultimately appears to believe in the authority of god-given justice and traditions by which Thebans live and die.


What does Creon accuse the blind prophet of in 'Antigone'?

That he is accepting bribes to tell lies is what Creon accuses the blind prophet of doing in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Teiresias the blind prophet criticizes King Creon for withholding from the disloyal Theban dead the divinely ordained rights of all Thebans to below-ground burials. He demands that Creon bury the bodies of Polyneices and the other Thebans who died attacking Thebes in the recent civil war over the Theban royal succession. In response, Creon insults Teiresias with charges of accepting bribes from the king's enemies and of telling lies for monetary gain and personal and profession advancement.

What is tyrants in ancient Greece?

Tyrants were generaally wealthy landowners who were brought to power by the lower classes who had become tired of being held down and exploited by the oligarchs (small number of aristocrats) ruling the city-states. The tyrant was put in sole charge on the understanding that he ruled to the general good. They were vilified by those who had been replaced and today the word has a bad meaning. To the majority of people who got a fair deal from them they were a godsend.
