Publisher Description
"Antigone" by Sophocles is a classic Greek tragedy that centers on the conflict between Antigone and King Creon. After her brother Polynices dies in a civil war, Creon, the ruler of Thebes, decrees that Polynices' body must remain unburied as punishment for his rebellion. Defying Creon's orders, Antigone chooses to honor her brother with a proper burial, leading to her arrest. The play explores themes of loyalty, justice, and the consequences of moral and political decisions, ultimately ending in a series of tragic events that underscore the destructive nature of pride and inflexibility.
