Antigone (Plumptre Translation)
Antigone, written by Sophocles in 441 BC, is a tragedy that explores themes of individual conscience versus state law. The play centers on Antigone's defiance of King Creon's decree prohibiting the burial of her brother, highlighting the conflict between personal duty and governmental authority. Notable for its timeless relevance, it serves as a powerful critique of tyranny and the consequences of absolute power. This translation by Plumptre captures the enduring significance of the work in the context of oppression throughout history.
