Αντιγόνη
1993
Antigone is a classical tragedy by Sophocles, written in the 5th century BC, that centers on the conflict between Antigone and Creon, the king of Thebes. The play addresses the struggle over the burial of Antigone's brother, Polynices, who has been denied proper rites due to Creon's decree. This work explores themes of duty, morality, and the consequences of defying state laws in favor of familial loyalty, making it a significant exploration of human ethics and governance that remains relevant today.
