“Antigone” is one of Sophocles’ Theban plays, which include “Oedipus the King” and “Oedipus at Colonus.” In the play, Antigone defies the edict of Thebes’ ruler, Creon, by burying her brother who was slain in battle. Creon sentences her to be buried alive, only to be warned by the blind prophet, Tiresias, that the gods will punish him for his actions.
