Theban Princess Antigone dies on the very day that she is told that she is going to be stoned to death in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the play adheres to the three unities in ancient Greek theater. It therefore has all action take place in one onstage location within the course of one day. It is therefore in just one day's time that Antigone learns that she is sentenced to death, first by stoning and ultimately by live burial and starvation.
