Antigone, written by Sophocles, follows the daughter and sister of Oedipus, the king of Thebes. After Oedipus died, Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, killed each other in a civil war for the throne. Creon, the new king, honoured Eteocles but left Polynices unburied as a traitor. Antigone defies Creon's order and buries Polynices, for which she is sentenced to death.
