Antigone is a character from Greek mythology and the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta. She is best known from the play "Antigone," written by the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles, in which she defies King Creon’s orders by burying her brother Polyneices, who was deemed a traitor. Her actions symbolize loyalty to family and moral duty over state law, leading to tragic consequences. Antigone's story explores themes of justice, individual conscience, and the conflict between personal beliefs and civic duty.
