The Greeks believed that no man could be considered happy before his death, since the happiest life could be destroyed in an instant. Sophocles states this outright both in <em>Oedipus Rex</em> and <em>Antigone</em>: both Oedipus and Creon begin as wealthy, proud men who rule over the city, but they end up ruined and defeated. The element of tragedy that is mos apparent is the belief in the frailty of human life, the vulnerability of even the greatest individuales to the whims of both fate and the gods, what George Steiner termed "absolute tragedy".

Why would an editorial include an opposing viewpoint? Your answer should be 2 to 3 sentences.
hoa [83]

An editorial include an opposing viewpoint because they need to recognize it. If there is no opposing viewpoint, they look like they think there is only one side and no one else. Opposing viewpoints are very important because first, you can recognize them, and second, you can make corrections of their stance.
