Description Fifth-century b.c. Greek tragedy that is reflective of the ancient Greek belief in oracles and curses. It teaches that all choices have consequences and that laws must be just and reasonable. Antigone asks each person to consider what principle, if any, he or she is willing to stand up for and perhaps die for.
