The present article makes the oracular or pure word of the soothsayer Tiresias in the Sophocles Antigone close to the word of the analyst in psychoanalysis. It makes such approximation through the presentation of the common characteristics of both words (the one of the analyst and the one of the soothsayer): power of suspension of the sense and opening to other senses - enunciation - present in a declaration or in a rational or argumentative discourse.
