1. " But now that your ship is buffeted, I'm not ashamed to sail the voyage at your side" (Ismene p. 214)
2. Ismene is revealed as a very loyal and helpful person towards her sister, Antigone, through this passage. Antigone and Ismene were both brought to their uncle, Creon, to be questioned about their brother's burial. While Antigone confessed without excuses, Ismene also said that she took part in this act. Even though it is clear that Ismene had nothing to do with the burial of her brother, she still feels as though her sister should not take all of the blame and suffer alone. After hearing that supposedly both girls took part in the burial, Creon has them both taken away by the guards to be dealt with.
3. Why would Ismene sacrafice herself and say that she acted alongside her sister when she truly had nothing to do with it?
