Antigone is the third play in the Theban trilogy, following Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. However, it was written first and stands alone as a powerful tragedy.

The play follows Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, as she defies King Creon's orders and risks her life to bury her brother, Polynices, whom Creon has declared a traitor. This act of defiance sets up a dramatic conflict between loyalty to family and obedience to the state, leading to catastrophic consequences.
