Antigone is a hero because she remains true both to the Gods and her brother. Even when faced with death, she refuses to go against either one, choosing to end her own life. Thus, she seals her testimony with her own blood and dies a tragic hero
Explanation:
The tragic hero causes a sense of pity through the tragic downfall that weakens the character. In Antigone by Sophocles, Antigone follows her own beliefs by giving her brother a proper burial, even if she has to break the law of King Creon. Because of her innocent actions, Antigone is punished unjustly and unfairly.
Ethos is a rhetorical device used to establish the authority and trustworthiness of a speaker. "Someone told me..." (without emphasis on who "someone" is or why their opinion is credible) is not an ethical appeal.
