It is particularly in Antigone's last scene that euphemisms are found in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, euphemisms are round about ways of discussing delicate or heart wrenching topics. For example, Theban Princess Antigone offers euphemisms for death. For example, she speaks of Hades giving sleep to mortals. She then talks of setting forth on her last trip, which is a euphemism for death.

What are examples of euphemisms in 'Antigone'?
It is during Antigone's procession to the cave that the euphemisms, which are indirect references to upsetting matters of death, occur in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.CE.). Specifically, the chorus describes Theban Princess Antigone as heading towards the final "bridal chamber" where all mortals end up. Antigone explains that everyone goes to sleep in the presence of Hades the Underworld god of the afterlife. Then she observes that her wedding goes through, to the lord of the Dark Lake in the Underworld of death.
