Antigone - Book by Sophocles

In Sophocles' tragedy Antigone, the eponymous heroine defies King Creon’s edict prohibiting the burial of her brother, Polynices, who has been declared a traitor. Antigone’s act of defiance becomes a battle between individual moral duty and state law. Her unwavering commitment to divine law, contrasted with Creon’s emphasis on civic order, leads to tragedy.
