2-9

[stich]o[mythia] ....meaining row speech

The rape and abduction of Persephone was a good thing because it woke her and took her out of her daze. It opened her to the ideas of death.

If you missed class on Friday you missed Elizabeth (as Antigone) and Megan (as Ismene) and Mick (as Creon) and Dr. Sexson (as the chorus) reinacting lines 497-580. It was very intertaing and gave a lot of clarity and humor to thoes lines!

Hubris - pride

en-theos means the god is inside you
enthusiastic

gods can never take back something after they have promised it

the Furies are the goddesses of the underworld

Antigone is very connected with the gods of the underworld.
