Antígona 442 A.C.

Overview

In ancient Greece, a young princess faces the king's order that one of her brothers who fought in the war should not be buried. Antigone buries her brother and pays for it with her life. Antigone's act is sacred, it obeys the human law of caring for our dead. King Creon's act is a political act, a punishment. Who is right? Inspired by Sophocles' play.
