The chapter delves into various connections and themes within the play Antigone, drawing parallels with other works such as a myth involving a sacrificed son, the story of Agamemnon, the roles of religious figures in assigning blame, similarities with the Iliad in how bodies are treated, and the concept of the heroic temper as defined by Bernard Knox. It compares and contrasts these elements to highlight the overarching themes of defiance, tragedy, and heroism.
