Antigone

Author: Sophocles
Stars: 5
Review by: BookDancer
There is a reason why people are still reading and discussing this play, written nearly 2500 years ago.  In spite of the extremely unfamiliar conventions of ancient Greek drama, it is riveting in its treatment of the timeless themes of familial loyalty, citizenship, civil disobedience and the power of religious fervor, as well as others. How awe-inspiring to reach across millennia and face individuals and a world very similar to our own.
