In 'Antígonas', George Steiner explores the enduring influence of the Antigone myth throughout Western history and culture. He analyzes how this tragic figure has been reinterpreted in literature, theater, philosophy, and politics, revealing changing social ideas and the constant admiration for her unconditional heroism. This essay offers a profound reflection on the universal themes of justice, law, and the conflict between individual conscience and state power.
