À propos de ce contenu audio

 Sophocles Antigone is a stirring artistic rebellion against tyranny that has resonated through the ages. This timeless tragedy, translated and adapted countless times, speaks to the persistent struggles against oppression that define the human experience. Antigones courageous defiance of Creons arbitrary and unyielding laws remains profoundly relevant even in the third millennium CE. Written during a period of national fervor in 441 BC, shortly after Sophocles was appointed as one of the ten generals for a military campaign against Samos, the play stands out for its lack of overt political propaganda. Despite the backdrop of imperialism, it focuses intently on its characters and the universal themes of justice and moral duty. The narrative starkly highlights the perils of absolute power through the figure of Creon, a king whose refusal to listen to dissent leads to tragic consequences. Athenians, proud of their democratic ideals, would have recognized his failures in the dialogue, which underscores the silent suffering of Thebes citizens who believe he is wrong yet cannot voice their dissent. - Summary by Wikipedia (edited and enhanced by Expatriate)Copyright Family and Culture
