Sophocles, Antigone, 441-443


nanCREON: Thou-thou whose face is bent to earth-dost thou avow, or disavow, this deed? ANTIGONE: I avow it; I make no denial. CREON (to GUARD) Thou canst betake thee whither thou wilt, free and clear of a grave charge. (Exit GUARD) (To ANTIGONE) Now, tell me thou-not in many words, but briefly-knewest thou that an edict had forbidden this? ANTIGONE: I knew it: could I help it? It was public. CREON: And thou didst indeed dare to transgress that law?


nanYou, you with your face bent to the ground, do you admit, or deny that you did this?


nanYou, you with your face bent to the ground, do you admit, or deny that you did this?


nanI declare it and make no denial.

12. Pausanias, Description of Greece, 2.22.3, 2.26.2 (2nd cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)

2.22.3. Now that the Tantalus is buried here who was the son of Thyestes or Broteas (both accounts are given) and married Clytaemnestra before Agamemnon did, I will not gainsay; but the grave of him who legend says was son of Zeus and Pluto—it is worth seeing—is on Mount Sipylus. I know because I saw it. Moreover, no constraint came upon him to flee from Sipylus, such as afterwards forced Pelops to run away when Ilus the Phrygian launched an army against him. But I must pursue the inquiry no further. The ritual performed at the pit hard by they say was instituted by Nicostratus, a native. Even at the present day they throw into the pit burning torches in honor of the Maid who is daughter of Demeter. 2.26.2. He went to Athens with his people and dwelt there, while Deiphontes and the Argives took possession of Epidauria. These on the death of Temenus seceded from the other Argives; Deiphontes and Hyrnetho through hatred of the sons of Temenus, and the army with them, because it respected Deiphontes and Hyrnetho more than Ceisus and his brothers. Epidaurus, who gave the land its name, was, the Eleans say, a son of Pelops but, according to Argive opinion and the poem the Great Eoeae, A poem attributed to Hesiod. the father of Epidaurus was Argus, son of Zeus, while the Epidaurians maintain that Epidaurus was the child of Apollo.
