This article follows a study undertaken 2017 in the journal Colloquia Theologica Ottoniana (pp. 57–67). The argumentation proposed at that time justifying the reading of the term πύλαι in Mt 16,18 as “throats” is here enriched with two other reasons for just such understanding of the analyzed Greek noun. The recited evidence comes from Sophocles’ Antigone and in some measure confirms the correctness of the proposed interpretation.
