To perform To their deer names such empty funerals As fortune will allow; or if that that Will not suffice, go speedily to Athens; Thither all conquering Theseus is returned, Triumphant now from the Amazonian war, Whose mighty arm all savage tyrants dread, Whose high Heroic thoughts were never averse From suppliants, and for encouragement To all that come, in midst of Athens stands A gracious altar, where white mercy dwells, The poor men goddess, shaded with a grove Ofsuppliant Olives, and chased Laurel trees. None are denied to enter, but the rich, And fortunate; poor wretches, night and day, Find free access, and there have leave to pay Their cheap devotion; no slain bullocks blood, No Frankincense, nor rich Arabian fumes Do feed that altar sighs, and floods of tears Are all that goddess craves; no gold adorns Her humble roofs, as those proud temples raised By happy Monarchs, and great conquerors, Instead of trophies, and triumphal robes, Torn hair, and widows mourning garments hang About the temple, thither from all coasts Unhappy souls repair, sad folk subdued In war, or banished from their native soils, Or those, whom happlesse error has made guilty. There they implore, and there obtain their peace. No, royal Ladies, banish from your breasts That flattering hope; no tears, nor prayers can move, The ruthless tyrants mind; and impious oath Hath bound his cruelty; his watchmen tell The carcases, and guard the place, to keep Sad friends from thence: no creatures have access To that dire field, but beasts, and birds of prey. His hate is constant, sooner hope t'appease Busiris altars, or the fiends themselves, Then savage Creon; venture not to Thebes.
Plot summary
Plot — Antigone, the Theban Princess
Self-blinded and banished from Thebes, Oedipus wishes only for death. His daughter Antigone temporarily persuades him to give up such thoughts, but it is not long before he is dead. Thebes itself is at war: Eteocles has dishonoured a power-sharing agreement with his brother Polynices, and seven Greek champions have besieged the city in support of the latter’s claim. After sustaining heavy casualties, Polynices proposes settling the case in single combat with Eteocles. Both are killed. The new King, Creon, decrees that no Theban shall bury any enemy soldier, including Polynices. He also places Antigone under house arrest and refuses his son Haemon permission to marry her. In defiance of Creon, Antigone goes to the battlefield in search of Polynices’ body. There she meets his widow, Argia, and together they convey the corpse past the watchmen and give it a funeral. Creon too comes to the battlefield, to consult the witches who are gathering Parts of the dead bodies for magical use. They make a dead body tell his fortune: he will die soon, and disorder will come to Thebes. Antigone and Argia are arrested. Creon holds Argia, a foreign princess, for ransom, but sentences Antigone to be entombed alive and left to starve to death. By threatening to take his own life, Haemon persuades his father to allow her release, but it is too late: she has taken poison to hasten her death. Haemon kills himself. Thebes is attacked by Theseus, who has been summoned by another widow to intervene for the unburied. Argia is released and Creon killed, but Theseus allows him the burial he denied his enemies.
