[6charlong]

Antigone is the third of Sophocles's Oedipus plays (although it may have been the one he sat down and wrote first). Amazingly current in its themes, Antigone addresses many problems that have continued to trouble Western society since the play was written almost 2,500 years ago: State control, natural law, civil disobedience, citizenship, family responsibility, and the portrayal of the gods. Modern psychology has tried to resolve some of the themes addressed by the trilogy.

This edition is the 1912 verse translation by F Storr. The eBook contains the Wikipedia article: Antigone (Sophocles), formatted for the eBook media.
