About this book
In the heart of ancient Greece, a profound moral conflict unfolds in "Αντιγόνη" by Sophocles, where familial loyalty clashes with state authority. This timeless tragedy explores the themes of justice and individual conscience through Antigone's defiance against Creon, the newly appointed king of Thebes, who decrees that her brother Polynices shall remain unburied as punishment. As Antigone asserts her right to honor her brother, the narrative delves into the tension between divine law and human law, encapsulating the struggle for "unalienable rights." Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this powerful text invites readers to reflect on the implications of moral duty versus civic obligation in a society governed by rigid laws.
