Abstract

The paper analyzes the problematic relationship within Sophocles' Antigone between fatal, predetermined elements, as revealed by Tiresias' prophecy, and the either optional or necessary status of some key events of the plot (Antigone's death, Aimon's suicide, Aimon's failed attempt at his father's life), which apparently imply freedom of choice on the characters' side. © 2020 Fabrizio Serra Editore.
