The Antigone of Sophocles is a classic Greek tragedy written by the renowned playwright Sophocles in the fifth century BC. The play tells the story of Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, who defies the law of her uncle, King Creon, by burying her brother Polynices, who had been declared a traitor and left unburied as punishment. The play explores themes of family loyalty, civil disobedience, and the conflict between personal and political values. The characters of Antigone and Creon are both complex and flawed, and their actions ultimately lead to tragic consequences. The play is known for its powerful language and dramatic tension, and has been widely studied and performed throughout the centuries. This edition of the play was translated by Sir George Young and first published in 1900.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
