Death? - She should have all the honor we can give her (68- 69).” Haimon tries desperately to explain to his father that it was a mistake to kill Antigone for such an honorable and righteous deed.

This song was originally performed by an artist called Righteous Brothers. The place I heard the concert was on YouTube. I heard the concert on April 18, 2016. The music I was heard was very pleasing to the ear. It was soothing, steady, and pleasant. It matched up to the rhythm and beat of the original song perfectly. The performers were attempting a historically "authentic"

The following is a synopsis of the work and conclusions. The author of Genesis identifies pre-fallen Adam, Enoch, and Noah as exemplars

As the Crusades developed within European Christendom, The Song of Roland inspired christian soldiers and justified the purpose of the Crusades: to promote Christianity, by force, and reclaim the Christian lands.

will document on how the two main characters, Creon and Antigone, both inevitably become tragic heroes. The first example that I observed in Antigone was her self-righteous plight to bury her brother. She believes that what she is doing is right, and that she will do it no matter what the consequences, because he was her brother, her blood.

(Matthew 5: 23-25) Now, here is another thing: We have no promise that God will hear a prayer that is not in harmony with the Word of God, but “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (I John 5: 14) I can’t be holy like God is holy and I can’t be righteous like God is righteous, but I can be holy and righteous as men

When his brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper made an obituary, news article that reports of Alfred Nobel’s death, along with his personal life and information. They believed it was Alfred Nobel not his brother. So, while Nobel was alive he read his obituary./ That described Nobel as a man who had made it possible to kill more people more quickly than anyone
