3)Come, Fate, a friend at need,Come with all speed!Come, my best friend,And speed my end!Away, away!Let me not look upon another day! TEIRESIASI will tell thee;And when thou hearest thou must heed the seer. Since then, Eteocles and Polyneices killed each other in battle, and Antigone and Ismene are left alone in the world. Different birds indicated different things, as did the actions of those birds. Son, be warnedAnd let no woman fool away thy wits.Ill fares the husband mated with a shrew,And her embraces very soon wax cold.For what can wound so surely to the quickAs a false friend? Zeus Herkeios was the protector of the family and home (herkos is the Greek word for fence.) CHORUS(Str. CREONIn what wise was her self-destruction wrought? So spue and cast her off,Bid her go find a husband with the dead.For since I caught her openly rebelling,Of all my subjects the one malcontent,I will not prove a traitor to the State.She surely dies. By heaven, thou shalt not rateAnd jeer and flout me with impunity.Off with the hateful thing that she may dieAt once, beside her bridegroom, in his sight. I will speak though I say nothing.For plucking courage from despair methought,'Let the worst hap, thou canst but meet thy fate.'. 2)Speech and the wind-swift speed of counsel and civic wit,He hath learnt for himself all these; and the arrowy rain to flyAnd the nipping airs that freeze, 'neath the open winter sky.He hath provision for all: fell plague he hath learnt to endure;Safe whate'er may befall: yet for death he hath found no cure. This statement is an example of Creon’s hubris. He was often invoked in situations of wine and intoxication. I perforce obeyThe powers that be. CREON(Str. Wherefore should'st thou die? TEIRESIASPrinces of Thebes, two wayfarers as one,Having betwixt us eyes for one, we are here.The blind man cannot move without a guide. (Ant. Teiresias describes himself as sitting upon a “throne” of augury, which further implies he is a seer of noble rank and ability, and should command Creon’s respect. HAEMONWhat threat is this, vain counsels to reprove? “His two sons” refers to Oedipus’ sons, Eteocles and Polynices, who died on the battlefield. If one failed to do so, they would come under a curse from the ghost of the corpse. [Enter GUARD bringing ANTIGONE]. ANTIGONEYea, for these laws were not ordained of Zeus,And she who sits enthroned with gods below,Justice, enacted not these human laws.Nor did I deem that thou, a mortal man,Could'st by a breath annul and overrideThe immutable unwritten laws of Heaven.They were not born today nor yesterday;They die not; and none knoweth whence they sprang.I was not like, who feared no mortal's frown,To disobey these laws and so provokeThe wrath of Heaven. [Enter GUARD], GUARDMy lord, I will not make pretense to pantAnd puff as some light-footed messenger.In sooth my soul beneath its pack of thoughtMade many a halt and turned and turned again;For conscience plied her spur and curb by turns. ISMENEBut how, my rash, fond sister, in such caseCan I do anything to make or mar? As such, Antigone must be buried with just enough food to stay alive, so that the state cannot be tainted with a homicide. SECOND MESSENGER'Tis true that thou wert charged by the dead QueenAs author of both deaths, hers and her son's. Idaea, the second wife of King Phineus, tricked her husband into blinding the sons borne of his first marriage. 2)To earthy from earth rebounding, down he crashed;The fire-brand from his impious hand was dashed,As like a Bacchic reveler on he came,Outbreathing hate and flame,And tottered. CREONIs not this maid an arrant law-breaker? With this passage the Chorus once again emphasises the close association between Dionysus and the city of Thebes. Creon is initially shocked to learn that Antigone has spread dust over Polynices's corpse (a direct defiance of Creon's ban against his burial). HAEMONFor evil-doers I would urge no plea. CREONWhat woe is lacking to my tale of woes? For, yet a little while,And sound of lamentation shall be heard,Of men and women through thy desolate halls;And all thy neighbor States are leagues to avengeTheir mangled warriors who have found a graveI' the maw of wolf or hound, or winged birdThat flying homewards taints their city's air.These are the shafts, that like a bowman IProvoked to anger, loosen at thy breast,Unerring, and their smart thou shalt not shun.Boy, lead me home, that he may vent his spleenOn younger men, and learn to curb his tongueWith gentler manners than his present mood. CHORUSSon of Menoeceus, list to good advice. SECOND MESSENGERSorrows are thine, my lord, and more to come,One lying at thy feet, another yetMore grievous waits thee, when thou comest home.
