Question

This character blames being “denied my part in the wedding-songs” on a relative because “your marriage murders mine.” After losing a drawing of lots, a sentry in a play accurately assumes that he will be blamed for this character’s actions and thus dallies on his way to report them. In that play, a character (10[2])who fails to ignite a fire at an altar and sees birds killing each other warns a ruler that he may lose one “of his own loins” unless he frees this character, who was captured after a dust storm. (10[1])This character commits suicide (10[1])by hanging in a cave, leading Haemon to stab himself to death. This character is sentenced to being buried alive (10[1])for defying Creon’s edict and burying the body of her brother Polyneices. (10[1])For 10 points, name this daughter of Oedipus who titles a play by Sophocles. ■END■ (10[1])
