AntigoneANCIENT_Accius



Nonius, 165 comments on the meaning of the word "resupinas" and says that "It means to call someone back from a task they have started or to pervert something. Accius in the Antigone has Ismene say
     Quid agís? perturbas rem ómnem ac resupinás, soror.


What are you doing? Antigone! You are destroying everything, and you are perverting it!
