Antigona

The material is taken from the mythic cycle about Oedipus and the curse of Labdak's royal house. However, Sophocles' characters are not mythical beings ruled by the gods, but somewhat idealized characters whose tragedy is reflected in their individual choices. Based on the motive of Antigone's love for her brother and her desire to give him a dignified burial despite the king's ban, the relationship between the individual and society, earthly and divine law, duty and love is problematized.
