← Now the city has been saved, the two brothers who became enemies are dead, and King Creon has ordered that Eteocles, the good brother, will be buried with full honours, while Polynices, the good-for-nothing traitor, will be left without tomb or ceremony to be the prey of the crows and the jackals. 🔊✎
← Polynices is dead and he didn't love you. He was always a stranger to us, a bad brother. 🔊✎
← And not a word. You are all guilty of gross negligence, you will be punished whatever happens, but if you talk, if people start saying in town that someone covered up Polynices's body, then all three of you are dead. 🔊✎
← It was Polynices' spade. He'd carved his name on the handle with his knife. That's why I left it by him. 🔊✎
← Polynices has finished his hunt today. He's going back to the house where my father and mother are waiting for him. Eteocles too. He has a right to rest. 🔊✎
← There's a different guard now watching over Polynices' body, and even if you manage to cover him up again, you know perfectly well they will just uncover him. What will you achieve except breaking your fingernails and getting caught? 🔊✎
← The story of Eteocles and Polynices, your brothers. You think you know it, but you don't. No one in Thebes knows it except me. But I think, this morning, that you also have the right to find out. 🔊✎
← Polynices saw me, he was so pale, but his eyes were flashing and he was so handsome in his tux! He said, "Hey, is that you there?" And he gave me a big paper flower that he'd brought back from the night. 🔊✎
← Don't you think that's kind of funny? Polynices is now rotting in the sunshine because he was guilty of treason, but I have proof that Eteocles, the guy asleep in his marble tomb, was going to do just the same thing. It was just a throw of the dice that Polynices got in first. 🔊✎
← I understand her now. Antigone was made to die. Maybe she didn't know it herself, but Polynices was just an excuse. If she'd had to change her mind this time, she'd have found something else. What was important for her was to say no and die. 🔊✎
