"Antigone. Ein Trauerspiel" is a German adaptation of Sophocles' classic Greek tragedy, "Antigone." This timeless play explores themes of moral conflict, civil disobedience, and the clash between divine law and human law. Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, defies King Creon's edict by burying her brother Polynices, who Creon has declared a traitor. Her act of defiance sets in motion a series of tragic events, forcing characters to confront their beliefs and allegiances. This edition offers readers a compelling rendition of a cornerstone of Western literature, inviting reflection on enduring questions of justice, duty, and individual conscience. The play's powerful narrative and profound insights into the human condition continue to resonate with audiences today.
