Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sophocles' Antigone is a classic Greek tragedy that was first performed in Athens in 441 BC. The play tells the story of Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, who defies the law of her uncle Creon, the new king of Thebes, by burying her brother Polyneices. Creon has declared that Polyneices is a traitor and must not be given a proper burial, but Antigone believes that it is her duty to honor her brother and the gods. The conflict between Antigone and Creon leads to a tragic conclusion that explores themes of morality, justice, and the role of the individual in society. Sophocles' Antigone has been widely studied and performed throughout the centuries, and is considered a masterpiece of ancient Greek literature. This particular edition of the play was published in 1827 and includes an introduction and notes by the editor, Thomas Mitchell, to provide context and insight into the text.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
