metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is dedicated to the interpretation of Soph. Ant. 471–2. The main problems posed by these
  verses are the meaning of the epithet ὠμός, the ambiguous reference to Oedipus and the comparison of
  Antigone to him. Basing on lexicological analysis and interpretation of the context, the author rejects the
  understanding of ὠμός as “savage, uncivilized” which became popular in the last decades. Meanwhile, the
  author assumes that this extravagant explanation has diagnostic value, and supposes that we cannot fully
  understand the meaning of these lines, since we do not possess the tragedy they refer to. The author explains
  these verses as a reference to the lost Aeschylus’ Oedipus. In this case, the ὠμότης of Oedipus referred to
  consists in his curse on his sons, who, according to the testimonies of Aeschylus’ Septem and the Scholia to
  Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus, refused to provide proper maintenance for him when he found himself in
  helpless state in their care. The author prefers this interpretation of Sept. 778–87 to the alternative one, which
  understands τροφή not as “care, maintenance”, but as “origin”. Refs 47.
