Antigone de Sophocles

Antigone: Student Editions

Autor Sophocles Traducere de Don Taylor David Bullen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 iun 2026
Sophocles' great tragic play dramatises the clash between family and the city and, through high poetry and deep tragedy, presents an irreconcilable but equally balanced conflict.

Sophoclean heroine Antigone has become a cultural archetype - the personification of personal integrity and political freedom, and the play has been staged and adapted numerous times over the centuries.

It is published here in Don Taylor's classic translation with commentary and notes by David Bullen. The commentary looks at the original performance conditions that would have shaped the impact of Antigone in 441 BCE; key choices made by the translator; key ideas in the play taken up by philosophers such as Hegel and Butler; and more recent translations and adaptations by the likes of Bertolt Brecht, Anne Carson, Moira Buffini, Kamila Shamsie and Inua Ellams.

PLAY TEXT

Notes

Recenzii

A world of self-regarding power that falls apart through its neglect of instinctive human feeling
Antigone the play moves on from the realm of the position paper to stir emotions that run very deep, indeed. One looks on at once gripped and appalled as Creon's defensive armor gives way, this most implacable of men discovering the extent to which the letter of the law has its limitations, too.
Sharply relevant to our times
The enduring power of ancient Greek tragedies to speak to us so directly almost 2,500 years after they were written is one of the great wonders of civilisation ... This is perhaps the greatest play ever written about the tension between the duties we owe the state and those we owe to our personal values. It would work just as powerfully were the cast dressed in togas and sandals, for Sophocles' moral debate is timeless ... The fact that Sophocles packed so much wisdom, intricate plotting and emotional depth into a play lasting a mere 90 minutes strikes me as miraculous and should serve as an object lesson.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Sophocles' masterpiece Antigone dramatizes the terrible series of events that results when patriotism clashes with familial duty—and hubris incites the wrath of the gods.
The sons of Oedipus have killed each other on the battlefield, but Thebes' new ruler, their uncle Kreon, decrees that only Eteokles will be granted a hero's burial; Polyneikes, who attacked his own city, is left to rot in dishonor. Their sister Antigone, enraged by the king's heartlessness, defies him by burying Polyneikes' body herself. That decision dooms her, and the consequences destroy Kreon's wife and son. A play that begins with a woman's defiance of a tyrant ends in the havoc caused by Eros, the god of love. A drama abounding with moral conundrums, Antigone is presented in an extraordinary new translation by Robert Bagg, modern in idiom while faithful to the original Greek. Ideally suited for reading, teaching, or performing, this is Sophocles for a new generation to discover and admire.
