One Page of the Much Larger Book

Out of Steiner's book, "Antigones" I chose to diesect page 222. Steiner starts off the page with a word that is unknown to me, "indeterminacies." He then jumps straight the agrue of men and women and how each would view Promethues' thunderous plunge into the abyss or Heracles' wrestling about with death. He then continued on to confuse me further while explaining how to perform externalization with music and language; and used the word"tenebrous"??? The fact that true poets and dramatisits can open the doors of speach and language and still leave us to decided if we believe or doubt what that poet is saying. All in all, and to be perfectly honest, I disected this page paragraph by pargraph and when I traslated ti and then proceded to put it all together, I know look read what I wrote and feel as though I am more confused then when I just Steiner write it.
