The Burial at Thebes by Sophocles

5.0

Read this while preparing for a book club meeting on Kamila Shamsie’s Home Fire, since that book opens with a quote from Heaney’s translation. I’d need to reread a different version of Antigone to know what exactly Heaney changed from the norm, but his version was definitely filtered through the anti-colonial context he was writing in.
