A kommos is a lyrical song of mourning in an Athenian tragedy that a dramatic character and the chorus sing together. One example was the final appearance of Antigone in Sophocles' Antigone
Explanation:
- The two characters that participated in the Kommos was Antigone and Creon.
- Antigone, play's tragic heroine and the subject of a story endeavors to secure a decent burial for her brother Polynices. King Creon, Antigone's uncle who has ascended to the throne of Thebes after the death of the Antigone's brothers, pronounces that Polynices is not to be mourned or buried; however, Antigone, disregards the king's order and is apprehended.
- Antigone ends her life and Creon's son Haemon who loves Antigone commits suicide. Creon's wife and mother of Haemon Queen Eurydice kills herself in grief over her son's death. By the Queen's death, Antigone ends up putting an end to the family of her enemy , Creon.
- Thus in Antigone, inherent flaws of the the two characters lead to irrevocable tragedy. Antigone and Creon are archetypal tragic characters as they struggle towards their foredoomed ends, cast off by the gods.
