read it in one sitting i am so so so sad if i was in sophocles' audience they wouldn't hear the chorus' final message over my inconsolable wails. now i know why aristophanes didn't make him compete in frogs. he would have won immediately. i am devastated

The original story of siblings. As an older sister, Antigone’s protection of her brother pulls at my heart strings. I love Ancient Greek literature and this was no exception. Didn’t think I would be relating to an Ancient Greek lady but here we are.
