Sophocles the plays and fragments, Part 3: The Antigone. Jebb, Richard Claverhouse, Sir, translator. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1891.
- What is this new grief for our princes that you have come to report?
- They are dead, and the living are guilty of the deaths.
- Who is the murderer? Who the murdered? Tell us.
- Haemon is dead—his blood was shed by no strange hand.
- Was it his father’s, or his own ?
- He did it by his own, enraged with his father for the murder.
- Ah, prophet, how true, then, you have proved your word!
