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 (10[1])way to report them. In that play, a character who fails to ignite a fire at an altar and sees birds killing each other warns a ruler (10[1])that he may lose one “of his own loins” unless he frees this character, (-5[1])who was captured after a dust storm. (-5[1])This character commits suicide by hanging in a cave, leading Haemon to stab himself to death. This character is sentenced to being buried alive for defying Creon’s edict (-5[1])and burying the body of her (10[1])brother Polyneices. (10[2])For 10 points, name this daughter of Oedipus who titles a play by Sophocles. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
