Had to read for school

Not bad but probably wouldn’t have read if i hadn’t been forced to

I read Fagles' translation here

While listening to the radio play based on his translation

A great play about the connection of siblings and the downfall of a man's pride. Easy quick read that is both enjoyable and philosophical. Probably my favourite play (second to the crucible). I could honestly write an essay about this play but for the sake of energy, I'll just sum it up to say I love it.
Tragedy, Siblinghood, Slight Romance, Fate/Destiny sign me up.

Much better than I remember in college. Antigone: one of the first strong female leads who didn't need a romance to define her!
