About this book
In the tumultuous aftermath of a devastating war, "Antigone" by Sophocles emerges as a profound exploration of moral duty and familial loyalty. This classic Greek tragedy delves into the tension between human law and divine decree, vividly illustrated through Antigone's defiance against King Creon’s edict prohibiting the burial of her brother, Polynices. The play raises essential questions about justice and the consequences of standing up for one’s beliefs, making it a vital read for students, civic activists, and historians alike. With its rich themes and compelling characters, "Antigone" invites readers to reflect on the nature of authority and the unyielding pursuit of what is right.
