The two brothers fought each other because they decided to rule together and switch the position of power with each other after certain time. When it was polyneikes turn, his brother wouldn't let go of his power which is why they started fighting. This is another reason why it is unfair that polyneikes didn't get buried and his brother, eteokles, did. Eteokles didn't keep his promise and wanted all the power to himself whereas polyneikes fought for fairness.

The weirdest bit about this story I think is that the gods are barely involved? Creon’s hubris dooming him is entirely of his making. And perhaps that’s interesting in and of itself.

Sometimes, one can creat hell all by himself, where heaven can only come from G-D. Perhaps that is the point

When you read the play the presence of god is there all right. The gods’ will mainly materialize through supernatural occurrences, like a sudden sandstorm that conceals Antigone from the guards’ eyes.

@sweethoney4552 6 ай бұрын

the moral of the story is to honor the gods but it’s irrelevant to modern times so it can be interpreted as law versus morality. the law was that polyneikes be left behind (regardless of him honestly being the victim) and antigone honored her family more than the law. in perspective, its like people getting harsh punishment that is undeserving. greek mythology often shows victims appearing as villians like the story of medusa who was assaulted and made into a monster but this is far darker and dramatic
