Antigone. Illustrated

"Antigone" by Sophocles, in this illustrated edition, is a classic Greek tragedy that unfolds against the backdrop of Thebes. The play delves into the profound ethical and moral dilemmas faced by its characters, with Antigone at the center of a conflict between personal convictions and civic duty.

The narrative begins with the aftermath of a brutal war, where two brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, have fallen on opposing sides. Antigone, their sister, defies the king's decree and buries Polynices, setting the stage for a clash between divine law and human authority. As the drama unfolds, Sophocles weaves a tragic tale of pride, power, and the consequences of challenging established norms.

This edition, enhanced with illustrations, brings an additional layer of visual richness to the ancient text, complementing the intensity of Sophocles' language. The visuals offer readers a deeper connection to the characters and events, providing a vivid portrayal of the timeless themes explored in "Antigone."

Sophocles' exploration of morality, justice, and the clash between individual conscience and the state's authority remains relevant, making this illustrated edition a compelling and accessible introduction to a classic work of Greek literature.
