Description

Antigone returns to Thebes after her father's death in exile, determined to set the record straight and restore his reputation. Her 'biography' uncovers the complex histories of Oedipus and his family, challenging our understanding of how we are defined by our actions. As Antigone delves into the past, she confronts the consequences of her own choices and the role of context in shaping our lives. This thought-provoking exploration ultimately leads to a powerful act of defiance that will have far-reaching consequences for Antigone herself. This book offers a fresh perspective on the ancient world, inviting readers to re-evaluate their assumptions about free will and personal responsibility.
