 | | Deianeira and the Trojans see this as a sign that the gods themselves are on their side. | | | Deianeira sees this as a bad omen and, after looking at her people sleeping in the woods, decides that she does not want any of them to be killed in a battle. | | | Deianeira asks the priest if she goes through with the sacrifice of herself, her people would be set free and return to their city. |

| | Diotima |
| | Deianeira, for all her sincerity and goodness, cannot, like Antigone, bravely act in accord with divine law when divine law is nowhere to be found. | | | Such a prophecy is, in Deianeira's words on another occasion, "beyond the power of speech or understanding." It serves, not to enlighten, but to suggest the extent of encircling darkness. | | | When we see him at last, borne in upon a stretcher, Deianeira has already taken her life. |

| | Deianeira later invokes him as "Zeus whose lightning strikes the lofty glades of Oeta" (436), a reference to the spot on the mountain rendered holy by Zeus' own touch (his lightening strike). | | | Deianeira can think of two reasons why he might do this: because of a vow (EUKTAIA) or an oracle (MANTEIAS). | | | This will be the place where Heracles will leave the earth, a spot to be made more holy by his immolation there. |

| | In a peculiar version Nessos never tried to rape Deianeira; knowing that he was no match for Herakles, he tried instead to talk Deianeira into persuading her husband to lead a more civilized life. | | | It seems that Acheloos’ horn is a phallic symbol; his loss to Herakles in a sexual contest (the fight over Deianeira) is fittingly represented as emasculation. | | | Although the murder was unintentional, Herakles exiled himself from Kalydon and went to be purified by king Keyx of Trachis. |

| | The fact that Deianeira dies before Heracles arrives furnishes Levett occasion to criticize certain expectations of dramatic unity as inappropriate. | | | According to Levett Heracles' positive trait of civilizer depends upon his savagery, and his human faults mingle with features of the divine. | | | Thus while Deianeira's traits of powerlessness, sympathy to others, and inclination to universalize her situation may suggest an ideal of innocent feminine domesticity, Levett also points out that in sending the robe to Heracles she acts in her self-interest, because the presence of Iole in Deianeira's home threatens her reputation. |
