Summary/Abstract |
This classic Greek drama depicts the fate of the children of Oedipus who die fighting against each other. Creon, their uncle, assumes leadership and issues an edict that the rebel Polynices be left unburied and unmourned.
Antigone , his sister, defies the edict and for her act she is punished by Creon who orders her to be sealed in a cave and left to die.
How the Gods take their revenge on Creon for his inhuman act provides the finale to this compelling tragedy.

Summary/Abstract |
A drama about the cult of Dionysus, the vine god, which involved orgiastic and frenzied nature rites.
The king of Thebes, Pentheus, imprisons Dionysus when the latter, in disguise, attempts to propagate his cult among the women of Thebes. This thwarting of a God's will leads to catastrophe. The play is a probing into man's psychological makeup and understanding of himself.
