What does Zeus utterly abhor in 'Antigone'?
Proud boasting is what Zeus utterly abhors in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus leader identifies Zeus the chief god's pet peeve just after the opening interaction between Theban Princesses Antigone and Ismene. He describes the prideful boasting in the case of Polyneices amassing an army of disgruntled Thebans and supportive Argives to attack his own hometown of Thebes. Ironically, Polyneices in reality can be said to be in the right for defending his legitimate claim to the Theban royal throne, and his claim is vindicated when his son Thersander takes over the throne and keeps it within the hands of his descendants.
What gods are in the text of 'Antigone'?
In the play 'Antigone' some of the gods specifically are mentioned by name. For example, reference is made to Aphrodite, Bacchus, Pallas, Persephone, Pluto, and Zeus. Other gods generally are mentioned by attribute. For example, the fire and war gods are mentioned by the particular quality for which they're consulted and worshipped.
Why does Antigone compare herself to Niobe in 'Antigone'?
That they each offend a very important person, face divine curses and deal with unburied Theban dead are reasons why Antigone compares herself to Niobe in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone must decide what to do about an unburied dead brother. Lydian Princess Niobe, wife of Theban wall builder Amphion, must deal with her unburied dead children. Their predicaments are aggravated by divine curses and offensive attitudes and behaviors towards very important people. For example, Antigone offends Creon, her uncle and her sovereign, while Niobe is offensive to Leto, goddess and mother of Zeus' children Apollo and Artemis.
