mvp-comment-746-4 Haemon, in his madness, meant to kill his father. He had harboured no such purpose before ( see on 752

); and his frantic impulse is instantly followed by violent remorse. Arist. ( Arist. Poet. 14 ) observes that it is not conducive to a properly tragic effect (
οὐ τραγικόν, ἀπαθές
) if a person contemplates a dreadful act, and then desists from it, in the light of sober thought or fuller knowledge:
διόπερ οὐδεὶς ποιεῖ ὁμοίως εἰ μὴ ὀλιγάκις
(such incidents in Tragedy are rare),
οἷον ἐν Ἀντιγόνῃ Κρέοντα ὁ Αἵμων
. It need not be assumed that Arist. meant to censure Sophocles; it is more natural to suppose that he cited the exception as one justified by the circumstances. But it should further be noticed that Aristotle was not accurate in taking this incident as the exception which illustrated his rule. For Haemon did not abandon his dreadful purpose; he was simply foiled by his father's flight. And then, in swift remorse, he actually did
τῶν ἀνηκέστων τι
.
