Antigone is a tragedy written by Greek playwright Sophocles. It tells the story of Antigone, the daughter of the tragic king Oedipus and his own mother Jocasta. In this part of the story, the king of Thebes is her uncle Creon, who sentences her to be locked and left to starve at a cell, against the pleas of his son Haimon, who was in love with Antigone. Creon wants to punish her because she went against the law and buried her brother Polyneices, who was a traitor. Tiresias, a blind oracle, appears and tells Creon he is committing a huge mistake, but when Creon tries to go and free Antigone, he discovers she has hanged herself. Creon is left alone and desperate, since his wife and son commit suicide as well.
