Extract

This paper sets out to answer four apparently unconnected questions, which, however, I hope to show to be parts of one question:

(1) Why did Haimon kill himself over the body of Antigone?

(2) Why did Philinnion return for three nights to her father's house?

(3) Why is it unlawful(ού θέμɩς) to leave a story unfinished?

(4) Why is a magician sometimes torn in pieces by his own devils, or otherwise destroyed by his own magic?
