The Chorus recounts the events leading to Antigone's tragedy. Oedipus, Antigone and Ismene's father, had two sons, Eteocles and Polynices. Upon Oedipus' death, it was agreed that each would take the throne from one year to the next. After the first year, however, Eteocles, the elder, refused to step down.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number-one cause of skin cancer, but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful. Exposure to sunlight during the winter months puts you at the same risk as exposure during the summertime, because UVA rays are present in daylight.
Intentional UV tanning of any kind, in the sun or in a tanning bed, is never recommended. The MRF is committed to reducing melanoma by educating people about the dangers of tanning and the importance of catching potential threats early. As part of these efforts, the MRF actively opposes tanning through UV radiation.
