Stichomythia and Allusion

Today's warm up asked students to respond to the following: Examine the passage of stichomythia you chose for HW. To what effect does Sophocles employ stichomythia in this case? Explain in some detail, citing the passage as appropriate.

After discussing several of these examples, we defined the term "allusion" and set to work finding and examining an example of allusion in one of Antigone's choral odes.
