what viewpoint is conveyed by sophocles through the following lines spoken by antigone to creon regarding his decree that she disobeyed? creon. didst thou, then, dare to disobey these laws? antig. yes, for it was not zeus who gave them forth, nor justice, dwelling with the gods below, who traced these laws for all the sons of men; nor did i deem thy edicts strong enough, coming from mortal man, to set at naught the unwritten laws of god that know not change. the government is always the highest law of the land. religious law is above or greater than man's law. the laws of the government are sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect. one must be willing to accept punishment for breaking laws.
