A knife by her own hand is what kills Eurydice in "Antigone" by Sophcles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Queen Eurydice hears the news of the successive suicides of Princess Antigone, her niece and intended daughter-in-law, and of Prince Haemon, her only surviving child. She finds intolerable the thought of spending any more time above ground with a husband whom she blames for the deaths of all of their children. She decides to go inside the royal palace and kill herself with a sharp knife before anyone can stop her.
