Thebes Tragedy - Tumblr Posts

Antigone was Oedipus and Jocasta’s daughter whose brothers Polynices and Esteocles killed each other for power. Two brothers shared power and were both kings alternating which one was king yearly, until Esteocles exiled Polynices. Polynices gathered an army to reconquer their kingdom Thebes and two brothers died during the war. After their death late queen Jocasta’s younger brother and advisor Creon was crowned king, and he decided that Polynices was a traitor and shouldn’t be mourned nor buried. Well, Antigone went behind his back and buried Polynices in secret with possible help of her younger sister Ismene. As punishment Creon had Antigone buried in a tomb to starve but changed his mind because of his only son Haemon who was betrothed to Antigone but when he went to release Antigone, she had hanged herself.

Percy Jackson is Antigone. There are indeed parallels between them - their loyalty, their rebelliousness, their youth.

And what if... The gods forbid Luke to be buried, but Percy does it, he sews a shroud for him and burns it. Percy becomes Antigone, and Luke becomes his Polynices.

And there are parallels between the Polynices themselves and the Hatch.

Now I would LOVE to answer you on that, unfortunately I have NO idea what you are talking about T-T. I'm sorry, sounds rly cool tho so I definitely wanna have atleast the ask on my blog.
