Antigone is the rebel in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone becomes a rebel by taking a stand against a controversial, unjust, unpopular law that denies god-given burial rights to Thebans. She moves from a position within the established governmental and social framework to outside it when she breaks her uncle King Creon's royal edict of non-burial. That move therefore turns her from a law-abiding citizen to a civilly disobedient rebel.
