Introduction of Characters Antigone Introduction of Characters

Ancient Greece The Theatre of Ancient Greece, or Ancient Greek drama, is a theatricalculture that flourished in ancient Greece 700 BC. The city- state of Athens, which became a significant cultural, political, and military power during this period, was its center.

Ancient Greece Tragedy (late 5th century BC),comedy (490 BC), and the satyr play were the three dramatic genres to emerge there. Athens exported the festival to its numerous colonies and allies in order to promote a common cultural identity.

Sophocles He was born at Colonus, a village outside the walls of Athens, where his father, Sophillus, was a wealthy manufacturer of armour. Sophocles himself received a good education.

Sophocles His beauty, grace, skill, and charm, made him, as a youth, the mirror of his time; and at the celebration of the victory of Salamis, he was chosen, then aged 15, to lead the choir with his lyre. At the age of 27, he defeated Æschylus for the tragic prize in a memorable contest. From thenceforth till his death, more than 60 years later, he continued to produce, it is said, 113 dramas, gaining the first prize 20 times.

Thebes Thebes, chief city of Boeotia, in ancient Greece. It was originally a Mycenaean city. Thebes is rich in associations with Greek legend and religion.Sometime before 1000 B.C., Thebes was settled by Boeotians and rapidly became the region's leading city. At the end of the 6th cent. B.C. it began its struggle with Athens to maintain its position in Boeotia and in Greece. In the Persian Wars, Thebes, motivated by hostility to Athens, sided (480–479 B.C.) with the Persians.

Antigone Antigone is both the daughter and the sister of Oedipus (since he married his own mother). Now that Oedipus and his brothers are dead, Antigone and Ismene are the last of the Labdacus family. Heroine, strong-willed

Ismene Antigone's last surviving sibling, Ismene is the foil for her stronger sister. In comparison to Antigone she has almost no agency, primarily because she is utterly terrified of disobeying men in power. She does not believe that women should ever violate the laws of men, since they are stronger and deserve subservience.

Jocasta and Oedipus The mother and father of Antigone, Ismene, Polynices, and Eteocles While Jocasta and Oedipus are married, Jocasta is Oedipus’ mother.

Polynices and eteocles Brothers of Antigone and Ismene The brothers killed each other in a duel, making Creon king. Creon ordered Eteocles buried in honor and left Polynices to rot on the pain of death.

Creon The ruler of Thebes in the wake of war, Creon cherishes order and loyalty above all else. He cannot bear to be defied any more than he can bear to watch the laws of the state defied. Antigone’s uncle. Brother of Jocasta Seen to be heartless Focused on man made rules

Teiresias Teiresias, or Tiresias, is a blind prophet who warns Creon that the gods do not approve of his treatment of Polyneices' body or the punishment of Antigone.
