Ajax's Gods and the Gods of Sophocles
View through CrossRef
Divine and semi-divine beings permeate Sophocles' plays. The whole roster of Olympian deities is frequently named ; nameless theoi and daimones are often invoked by his characters ; the efficacy of oracles seems to be taken for granted. Of greater significance, however, are the pervasiveness of such pre-Olympian abstractions as Aidos, Tyche, Dike and Eusebeia ; all-revealing and all-nurturing Helios ; the awesome, but also reconciliatory power of the nether gods.
