    Sleep and Death in Greek Art

It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even entertainment, but never in history will science be able to so deeply affect our lives

The pliable nature of the stories is one of the most fascinating parts of Greek mythology to me. In the play Antigone for example, the character of Creon changes drastically from his character in Oedipus Tyranus. In Oedipus Tyranus, Creon is the ideal servant to Oedipus. He is
