    Commentary on Sophocles, Antigone. line 800.

    [800]  empaizei, ‘wreaks her will’ in that contest which nikai implies. We find empaizô with a dat. (1) of the object, as Her. 4.134 empaizontas hêmin, ‘mocking us’: (2) of the sphere, as Ar. Th. 975 choroisin empaizei, ‘sports in dances.’ The en of empaizei here might also be explained as (a) in the imeros, or the blephara, i.e. by their agency: or (b) ‘on her victim.’ But the interpretation first given appears simpler. (Cp. Vergil's absol. use of illudere, G. 1. 181, Tum variae illudant pestes.)
