The Greek chorus in Antigone not only comments on the action of the play and relays background information, but it also gives the audience a sense of the relationship between Creon and his subjects. Select the excerpt that shows the chorus’s insight into Creon’s effect on his subjects. CHORUS 1
Each left behind his armor bright,
Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight;
Save two alone, that ill-starred pair
One mother to one father bare,
Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other
Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother.

. . .

CHORUS 2
God of Thebes, lead thou the round.
Bacchus, shaker of the ground!
Let us end our revels here;
Lo! Creon our new lord draws near,
Crowned by this strange chance, our king.
What, I marvel, pondering?

. . .

CHORUS 3
Son of Menoeceus, thus thou will'st to deal
With him who loathed and him who loved our State.
Thy word is law; thou canst dispose of us
The living, as thou will'st, as of the dead.

. . .

CHORUS 4
What strange vision meets my eyes,
Fills me with a wild surprise?
Sure I know her, sure 'tis she,
The maid Antigone.
Hapless child of hapless sire . . .

CHORUS 3
