“How is a Greek chorus like a lawyer
They’re both in the business of searching
for a precedent
Finding an analogy
Locating a prior example
So as able to say
This terrible thing we’re witnessing now is
Not unique you know it happened before
Or something much like it
We’re not at a loss how to think about this
We’re not without guidance
There is a pattern
We can find an historically parallel case
and file it away under
Antigone buried alive Friday afternoon
Compare case histories 7, 17 and 49
Now I could dig up those case histories”

— Anne Carson and Sophokles,Antigonick
