1-17. mvp-comment-1-1 The opening speeches reveal the contrast between the sisters, while the affectionate address of Antigone in l. 1 gives greater emphasis to her violent outbreak in l. 69. Cp. О. Т. 85, and note.

1. mvp-comment-2-1 κοινόν not only means Of common parentage, but has the further significance of common interests and feelings. See Essay on Language p. 96, and for αὐτάδελφον (where the compound merely adds a pathetic emphasis), Essay on Language p. 91, 6. Ismene, my own sister, who sharest all with me. Antigone and Ismene were united by a common grief in an affection Dearer than the natural bond of sisters.
