No, "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is not a poem.

Instead, "Antigone" is a dramatic form of literature that is called a play, often to be performed on a stage before a live audience. Its genre is tragedy, because it tells of the unfortunate turns in the lives of Theban Princess Antigone and of her close relatives within the Theban royal house. The story is told as a play and therefore in prose, but choral interludes between the play's scens incorporate poems.
