Description

Sophocles' timeless play takes readers deep into the heart of moral dilemmas and familial loyalty. Set against the backdrop of a city grappling with political strife, Antigone stands as a fierce embodiment of defiance. Her struggle against the law to honor her brother's burial sparks intense conflicts that resonate with themes of justice and individual conscience.

With insightful translations by David Grene and Richmond Lattimore, this edition captures the raw emotion and philosophical depth of the original work. It invites readers to reflect on choices made in the face of authority while exploring the complexities of duty and love that transcend time.
