Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Αντιγόνη" by Sophocles is a classical tragedy written in the 5th century BC. The narrative centers on the conflict between the titular character, Antigone, and Creon, the new king of Thebes, over the burial of her brother Polynices, who has been condemned to remain unburied as punishment for his actions against the city. The play explores themes of duty, morality, and the consequences of defying state laws in favor of familial loyalty. The opening of "Antigone" introduces the dire situation in Thebes following the brutal deaths of the brothers Eteocles and Polynices, who killed each other in battle. Antigone learns of Creon's decree forbidding the burial of Polynices and, driven by familial duty, decides to defy this law despite her sister Ismene's reluctance. As Antigone prepares to ensure her brother receives the proper burial rights, the dialogue sets the stage for the ensuing conflict with Creon, who remains steadfast in enforcing his edict, leading to tragic consequences for all involved.
