"All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride. ""I say that this crime is holy: whoever keeps a man from burial is unholy.""Antigone" is a tragedy by Sophocles, written in ancient Greece around 441 BCE. The play tells the story of Antigone, a young woman who defies the king's orders and buries her brother, who was killed in battle against the state. The king, Creon, condemns Antigone to death for her disobedience, leading to a tragic chain of events.
The play explores themes of duty, justice, and family loyalty, as well as the conflict between divine law and human law. It is known for its powerful characters and emotional impact, and is considered one of the greatest works of Greek tragedy.
Since its premiere, "Antigone" has been widely studied and adapted, and has influenced countless other works of literature, drama, and art. It continues to be performed around the world, and its themes remain relevant to contemporary society.
