Antigone, Sophocles, Law, City, Logos, FissureAbstract
The text of Sophocles’ Antigone may reveal some incipient consciousness of how human mind and logos that «build» the city simultaneously includes an essential fissure. So the chorus says at the very beginning of his praise of the city that there is no other thing δεινότερον than man. The text as a whole shows the duplicity in the adjective – how the wonderful human logos and mind that «build» the city may become terrible.
