Antigone

Sophocles' Antigone is a timeless Greek tragedy that explores the conflict between individual conscience and state law. After the death of her brothers, Antigone defies King Creon's edict by performing burial rites for her brother Polynices, deemed a traitor. Her act of civil disobedience and the ensuing consequences highlight themes of duty, justice, and the struggle between personal morals and societal rules. The play remains a poignant examination of the human spirit's resilience against oppressive authority.
