"Antigone" is a play by Sophocles, one of the greatest ancient Greek dramatists, written around 441 BC. This is a tragic story about the conflict between the laws of the state and the laws of morality, about the contradiction between power and conscience.
The main character, Antigone, refuses to listen to the laws of Creon, king of Thebes, and buries her brother Polynices, who was forbidden burial by decree. This act of heroism and self-sacrifice leads to a tragic finale in which the clash of individualism and power leads to inevitable tragedy.
"Antigone" is not only an ancient Greek drama, but also a deep philosophical work that has become a classic of world literature. This book raises important questions about moral principles, power and loyalty to the family, and also reminds us of the eternal struggle of man for truth and justice.
