Fato e maledizione nell’Antigone di Sofocle

Abstract

The paper analyses the presence and function of curses in Sophocles’ Antigone. In particular, it explores the interaction that the introduction of predetermined elements into the plot of the tragedy creates with the pre-existing fate. Scarcely relevant on the level of the actual development of events, the curse nevertheless plays a significant role on the semantic level.
