Antigone
This play is a tragedy that was written several centuries ago by a
well known man named Sophocles. Sophocles was born in Athens about 496 - 406
B.C. He is regarded as one of the world's greatest playwrights, and his plays have
had many enduring influence on many other writers (Shakespeare). During his
life he wrote an immense amount of plays. Sophocles wrote 100 plays and only
seven have survived till this day. He received first place many times in
competitions that judged the plays that were performed in the Dionysian festivals,

he was born 2,500 years ago, his plays have some similarity to todays society. As
some see it the conflict between Antigone and Creon is as representative of the
conflict between conscience and authority.
