We traverse the Omniline, swept by a formidable storm called Deinós.
“Many wonders (deiná) exist, but none more wondrous (deinoterón) than humanity.” A wonder: something unique, as marvelous as it is terrifying. Thus spoke Sophocles of humanity and its deinós in the tragedy of Antigone.
The formidable Antigone: we listen to her cry to give her brother, fallen in battle, a proper burial against the decree of Creon, ruler of Thebes. Humanity and justice in open rebellion against the law. As with every rebellion, the fear arises: will the righteous perish? Will the violation of law lead to chaos? Heroism risks an anti-heroic chaos. Antigone and her deinós: severe, fierce, formidable.
Thebes holds its breath before the tragedy… And the tragedy births a new reality. Antigone buries her brother and takes her own life. Creon repents his rigidity, but too late to save Antigone, losing his wife and son, who take their own lives out of grief caused by Creon’s stubbornness and Antigone’s death. Yet Thebes remains: all have lost something, yet all have gained something.
And you—what will you do when faced with your deinós? Will you risk the terrible in pursuit of the sublime?
We traverse the Omniline, with Antigone and thousands of other stories etched into memory or waiting to be written. In all of them—within the theater of our souls or the external world—deinós abides.
Join us on this journey. As we navigate the Omniline through collapsed time and space, we survive and learn. We move forward in small and great iterations, wagering the impossible in the face of paradox. We smile, genuine in our irony, and in the crossings and spirals of the Omniline, we connect.
