I was rather struck by this line of Ismene in her conversation with her sister, Antigone:
θερμὴν ἐπὶ ψυχροῖσι καρδίαν ἔχεις. (“You have a warm heart for cold deeds”).
Antigone has just told Ismene to let everyone in the city know that she’s going to disobey Kreon’s order and bury her brother. Not a bad comeback on Ismene’s part!
