Widely regarded as one of the greatest Greek tragedies, 'King Oedipus' (or 'Oedipus Rex') is the first play in the Oedipus trilogy (followed by 'Oedipus at Colonus' and then 'Antigone').

This is Sophocles, vibrant and alive, for a new generation. Sophocles' masterpiece Antigone dramatizes the terrible series of events that results when patriotism clashes with familial duty—and hubris incites the wrath of the gods.

Antigone hält sich nicht an das Verbot - sie hält ohnehin wenig vom neuen Tyrannen. Kreon kann das nicht gut auf sich sitzen lassen und so lässt er Antigone, die übrigens die Tochter des Ödipus ist, einmauern.
