Among the most celebrated plays of ancient Athens, Antigone is one of the seven surviving dramas by the great Greek playwright, Sophocles, now available from Harper Perennial in a vivid and dynamic new translation by award-winning poet Robert Bagg. Powerfully portraying the clash between civic and familial duty-between morality and obedience-the play brings the Oedipus Cycle to a conclusion with the story of the tragic hero’s eldest daughter Antigone, who courts her own death by defying the edict of Thebes’s new ruler, her uncle Kreon, which forbids giving her dishonored brother a proper burial. This is Sophocles, vibrant and alive, for a new generation.
