Aeolia: Homeric Islands
As they continue to travel, Odysseus and his crew come across an island that is hovering above the water and has a tall bronze cliff with a palace perched above it. They have arrived to the island of Aeolia, which is where the wind deity Aeolus lives. With his six sons and six daughters, Aeolus resides there. Odysseus received excellent care from Aeolus, who urged him to share tales of Troy and his return journey. Aeolus and his kids loved the stories that Odysseus told them so much that he stayed on that island for a month! When Odysseus chose to continue his voyage after a month, Aeolus praised him and gave him a sack wrapped with a silver string as a present. To aid Odysseus in his journey, he had bound up all the winds in the sack save the kind and considerate west wind. Backtracking, Odysseus sails for nine days. They can see Ithaca because to the favorable breeze. However, when the sack is opened, the stronger winds are let loose, carrying the men of Odysseus to uncharted waters since they are so inquisitive about what is within.

“Leave me to my own absurdity.” ~*~Sophocles, Antigone~*~
Antigone: The Athenian Tragedy
Antigone was shocked by these happenings, and despite understanding the repercussions, she disobeyed Creon's instruction out of loyalty to her brother Polynices. Death by stoning was the penalty. In order to give her brother a proper burial, Antigone sneaked outside in the dead of night and scattered dirt over his body.
Antigone was kidnapped by King Creon, who also ordered the unburial of Polynices. In a fiery exchange with her captors, Antigone claimed that her decision to seek Polynices' fitting burial was a heavenly one that had been inspired by the gods. Despite being in danger, Antigone did not waver in her belief that the will of the gods always prevails over the petty desires of the lower class of mortals.Antigone vehemently defended her conduct, but King Creon appeared unmoved and confined her to a tomb. She would be interred alive. Creon chose to free Antigone after hearing Tiresias, the blind prophet, make threats. She had hanged herself out of desperation, so he was unable to free her. Haemon, the son of King Creon and Antigone's fiancé, stabbed himself when he heard the news. After a short while, Creon's wife Queen Eurydice committed herself. Her passing can be interpreted as a symbolic end to storytelling because she served as a weaver and an extension of the chorus throughout the play.
