In his amusing second stanza, he writes “Antigone, sad Labdacid, I can't believe you went and did what your uncle said you you shouldn't! (I'm in awe of you!) Please be mine? —Haemon” (Mend.Class V.1.5-8). Mendelsohn plays a humorous side of Antigone going against her uncle's wish to bury her brother by showing how fascinated her fiancé, Haemon, is. Labdacid in the stanza, who was at one time king of Thebes, whose son was Laius, who fathered Oedipus; Oedipus' children were Polyneices, Eteocles, Antigone and Ismene. Later in the poem, Mendelsohn moves on to Euripides' Medea: “Medea, there are some who snort that motherhood just isn't your forte; if you are mine, I will stop their troubles - we will fly away! xo, your Dragon.” In the original piece, Madea said, “I would much rather stand.” Three times at the front of the battle, than to give birth to a child” (Eur. Med.249-50). Mendelsohn took this concept and turned it into a laughable statement in which the "Dragon" states that if she were with him, he would be able to stop her from harassing her and take her away. In a sense, he would be able to transform her into a woman that society could accept or make her into a woman that society would not want.
