Diane Rayors accurate yet accessible translation reflects the plays inherent theatricality.

Antigone begins after Oedipus and Jocastas sons have killed each other in battle over the kingship. The new king, Kreon, decrees that the brother who attacked with a foreign army remain unburied and promises death to anyone who defies him. The play centers on Antigones refusal to obey Kreons law and Kreons refusal to allow her brothers burial. Each acts on principle colored by gender, personality and family history. Antigone poses a conflict between passionate characters whose extreme stances leave no room for compromise. The highly charged struggle between the individual and the state has powerful implications for ethical and political situations today.
