Some say that the sphinx was sent by Hera, others say she was sent by Hades, to systematically ravage fields and gobble up people. Atlas is best known for bearing on his shoulders the pillars which keep heaven and earth apart.

This burden was the punishment Zeus imposed on Atlas for having been leader of the Titans during their war against the Olympians. Antigone 2 followed her blind father into exile, and only left him after his death at Colonus.

She stole the body of her brother Polynices and secretly buried him against the edict of Creon 2. And for that act she was put to death.
