Sophocles, Antigone, 510-525
nan Are you not ashamed that your beliefs differ from theirs?
nan No, there is nothing shameful in respecting your own flesh and blood.
nan ANTIGONE: The dead man will not say that he so deems it. CREON: Yea, if thou makest him but equal in honour with the wicked. ANTIGONE: It was his brother, not his slave, that perished. CREON: Wasting this land; while he fell as its champion. ANTIGONE: Nevertheless, Hades desires these rites. CREON: But the good desires not a like portion with the evil. ANTIGONE: Who knows but this seems blameless in the world below? CREON: A foe is never a friend-not even in death. ANTIGONE: Tis not my nature to join in hating, but in loving. CREON: Pass, then, to the world of the dead, and, it thou must needs love, love them. While I live, no woman shall rule me.
nan Was not he your brother too, who died in the opposite cause?
nan A brother by the same mother and the same father.
nan Why, then, do you pay a service that is disrespectful to him?
nan The dead man will not support you in that.
nan Yes, he will, if you honor him equally with the wicked one.
nan It was his brother, not his slave, who died.
nan But he died ravaging this land, while he fell in its defense.
nan Hades craves these rites, nevertheless.
nan But the good man craves a portion not equal to the evil’s.
nan Who knows but that these actions are pure to those below?
nan You do not love someone you have hated, not even after death.
nan It is not my nature to join in hate, but in love.
nan Then, go down to hell and love them
nan if you must. While I live, no woman will rule me.
