Identify the speaker, the context (what is happening to whom under what circumstances) and significance of the following quotation from Antigone: (4-6 good sentences): And you, know well you shall not live through many more swift-racing courses of the sun before you give a child of your own flesh and blood in turn, a corpse to pay for corpses, since you’ve cast below a person  who belongs above, making a living soul  reside within a tomb dishonorably, and keep  up here a corpse belonging to the gods below,  deprived of rites, of offerings, of piety.

Identify the speaker, the context (what is happening to whom under what circumstances) and significance of the following quotation from Oedipus the King: (4-6 good sentences): after his birth King Laius pierced his ankles and by the hands of others cast him forth upon a pathless hillside.  So Apollo failed to fulfill his oracle to the son, that he should kill his father, and to Laius also proved false in that the thing he feared, death at his son’s hands, never came to pass. So clear in this case were the oracles, so clear and so false.  Give them no need, I say.

Identify the speaker, the context (what is happening to whom under what circumstances) and significance of the following quotation from Antigone: (4-6 good sentences): There is no greater evil than unruliness. It ruins cities and makes households desolate, it breaks and turns to flight the ranks of allied spears. But when the lives of mortals go aright, it is obedience to rule that keeps most bodies safe. Therefore we must defend the cause of order, and  by no means let a woman get the upper hand. Better to fall, if we must do so, to a man; then nobody could call us conquered by a woman.

Identify the speaker, the context (what is happening to whom under what circumstances) and significance of the following quotation from Oedipus the King: (4-6 good sentences): Not if you will reflect on it as I do. Consider first, if you think anyone would choose to rule and fear rather than rule and sleep untroubled by a fear if power were equal in both cases.  I, at least, I was not born with such a frantic yearning to be a king–but to do what kings do. And so it is with everyone who has learned wisdom and self-control.  As it stands now, the prizes are all mine–and without fear.
