The document discusses the roles and responsibilities in Heracles' death in Sophocles' play Women of Trachis. It argues that no single character is entirely to blame, as human error and the qualities of a tragic hero contributed. While Deianira's love potion was the direct cause of death, she did not intend harm and was acting out of panic and a desire to regain her husband's love. Heracles' own heroic nature also made his downfall inevitable, according to the oracle's prophecy.
