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.

Antigone remains one of the most influential tragedies in history, inspiring countless works on resistance, justice, and moral duty.
