Antigone

Greek Theatre of Syracuse

Wed 03 Jun 2026 - Fri 05 Jun 2026

Synopsis/Details

PLOT

It is the dawn in Thebes, a dawn of victory: the army of the city, led by the son of Oedipus Eteocles, has defeated the army of Argos, led by Polynices, the other son of Oedipus who came to take back the throne. But in a fratricidal clash, Eteocles and Polynices killed each other, and the throne is now passed to their uncle Creon. As a first act, Creont decided to grant funeral honors to Eteocles, leaving instead the corpse of Polynices, enemy of the state, unbured. Antigone, his sister, rebels against the edict: she transgresses the law and buries the body. For this reason, Creon condemns her to be locked up forever in a cave: the words of Ismene - sister of Antigone - and Emone, son of Creon and fiancé of Antigone, are worthless. But the will of the gods manifests itself, and Creone understands it too late: and so he loses Antigone and Emon, suicide deaths, and his wife Eurydice, who takes her own life at the news of her son's death.
