Ismene

4.9/5 (16943 ratings)

Description:Ismene is the sister of Antigone in Sophocles' most celebrated play. She was humiliated and insulted by Antigone because she was not courageous enough to assist in the burial of their brother Polyneices. Creon issued his order to give Etiocles the usual princely burial, but denied the same right to Polyneices. On the contrary, he ordered that his corpse be exposed to the elements for stray dogs and hungry wolves to ravage it. At this point, Antigone made her lofty stand in rejecting Creon's order and took the issue into her own hands. She asked her sister for help, but Ismene feared the wrath of Creon and could not take action in helping Antigone. Consequently Creon condemned Antigone to be buried alive, while Ismene was left out from the scene without any clue as to what happened to her. This poem is simply speculative and imaginative in constructing what might have happened to Ismene.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
