I watched an online video of a concert by The London Symphony Orchestra. They did a rendition of the song known as Unchained Melody. This song was originally performed by an artist called Righteous Brothers. The place I heard the concert was on YouTube. I heard the concert on April 18, 2016. The music I was heard was very pleasing to the ear. It was soothing, steady, and pleasant. It matched up to the rhythm and beat of the original song perfectly. The performers were attempting a historically "authentic"

Creon’s son, Haimon, speaks to him about Antigone’s great deed, “She covered her brother’s body. She kept him from dogs and vultures. Death? - She should have all the honor we can give her (68- 69).” Haimon tries desperately to explain to his father that it was a mistake to kill Antigone for such an honorable and righteous deed. Instead, she should be praised, rewarded and honored. This

The Song of Roland was formally recorded around the 12th century, near the beginning of the Crusade period. As the Crusades developed within European Christendom, The Song of Roland inspired christian soldiers and justified the purpose of the Crusades: to promote Christianity, by force, and reclaim the Christian lands.

The first example that I observed in Antigone was her self-righteous plight to bury her brother. She believes that what she is doing is right, and that she will do it no matter what the consequences, because he was her brother, her blood.

applies to brothers and sisters in the church is not stated; nonetheless, we do know that enmity between brethren affects one’s worship, and prayer is a form of worship. (Matthew 5: 23-25) Now, here is another thing: We have no promise that God will hear a prayer that is not in harmony with the Word of God, but “If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” (I John 5: 14) I can’t be holy like God is holy and I can’t be righteous like God is righteous, but I can be holy and righteous as men
