  <default_description>To make this quintessential Greek drama more accessible to the modern reader, this Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition&#8482; includes a glossary of difficult terms, a list of vocabulary words, and convenient sidebar notes.   By providing these, it is our intention that readers will more fully enjoy the beauty, wisdom, and intent of the play.    The curse placed on Oedipus lingers and haunts a younger   generation in this new and brilliant translation of   Sophocles&#8217; classic drama. The daughter of Oedipus and   Jocasta, Antigone is an unconventional heroine who pits her   beliefs against the King of Thebes in a bloody test of wills that leaves few unharmed. Emotions fly as she challenges the king for the right to bury her own brother. Determined but doomed, Antigone shows her inner strength throughout the play.    Antigone raises issues of law and morality that are just as relevant today as they were more than two thousand years ago. Whether this is your first reading or your twentieth, Antigone will move you as few pieces of literature can.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[My English class read Antigone as the first attempt in our efforts to explore the classics. Personally, I did not enjoy the play. I wouldn't say that the story wasn't interesting or that I would change anything about it if I could, but only that I did not <em>like</em> or agree with the characters in many wa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45877441">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It seems weird to give a classic only four stars -- like, &quot;OK Matt, how would you improve this text that has inspired generations of great thinkers?&quot;  So it's arrogant of me, but I just find that Sophocles is a little slow on the page for my taste.  I enjoyed discussing the moral dilemmas ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45327924">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When I first got this book in english class I was excited because it was Greek Mythology and it was very small. This is a classic greek tradgedy where everyone dies. I thought that this book was okay but not great. It was about girl who wanted to burry her brother but her uncle wouldn't let her.

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed Antigone while reading it, but thinking back-it wasn't all that great. I feel like that about a lot of Shakespeare plays.<br/><br/>In my mind, he [Shakespeare] can really pack a punch - but what the fight was originally about becomes forgotten. <br/><br/>I don't know if that mak...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14281401">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[From time to time, Sophocles' plays have always struck me as brilliant not mainly because of how they were crafted, but much rather because of the moral messages embedded within them.<br/><br/>I love the moral complexity of Antigone.
