Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta. Around 441 BC, the playwright Sophocles made her the heroine of a play that became universal.
Facing King Creon, she asks a question that crosses the centuries: when a law of the state contradicts a higher moral conviction, do you obey or resist? This is not good against evil. It is two ideas of justice crashing into each other.
