Mythos of Antigone vs. Drama of Sophocles-the story everybody knew vs. the artistic version
-the original or true version can never be determined
Catharsis: the purgation of pity and fear, cleansing of the system
Tiresias: could see things beyond his blindness
-saw the world beyond the scope of a man or a woman
-said Narcissus would live a long time, but only if he never knew himself
The messenger in Greek tragedy: no good news, describes incredible graphic violence.
