... is disregarding the laws of the heavens by ordering it unlawful for anyone to provide a proper burial for her brother Polyneices. Antigone’s opinion is one that supports the Gods and the laws of the heavens. Her reasoning is set by her belief that if someone were not given a proper burial, that person would not be accepted into heaven.

The first god (Shamash) who he bumps into and he tells him, that he will not find the life for which you are searching for." (34) After Shamash confronts him, Gilgamesh then runs into the god Siduri.

(The Riverside Chaucer, p. 7.) was, until Chaucer's time, a genre of French literature, in which it flourished in the thirteenth century. One of the minor problems about Chaucer's fabliaux is why he turned to a genre that had, in effect, been dead for a hundred years.
