However, his companions did not trust him that his father was the Sun King. He bravely began to climb the unused path which led to the palace of the sun in order to prove that he was indeed the son of Helios.

    Eodipus vs. Antigone: in the Eyes of the Gods

    Sophocles may not have included the Greek gods as corporeal characters in his plays Oedipus and Antigone, but their divine influence on the titular characters plays a major role in both. The “immortal unrecorded laws of God” (Antigone pg 268), the “evil prophecy” of Apollo, Oedipus’s hubris, and Antigone’s dogged pursuit of justice together create the catalyst for both tragedies. Oedipus and Antigone grapple with the complex issues of free will and destiny, the combination of which drives them to ruin.…
