When the Ode begins Sophocles give the tone of man's abilities to acheive. Choice words he uses are numberless and holy. This really shows how man can be placed on such a high level for his acheviements. In the Antistrophe 1 the diction shifts more towards the sense of man being able to controlled. Words such as tammed and broken are used. Then in Strophe 2 there is a shift which can be seen throught the diction choices such as death and also broken, but this time showing how man can be broken. Overall the diction used throughout the Ode give the tone of acheivement and then leading to discord. |
