Antigone, by Sophocles. #1.

from Great Audiobooks · host Great Literature

Antigone is an Athenian tragedy by Sophocles from 441 BC, and was first performed at the Festival of Dionysus of the same year. The play is one of the three tragedies, known as the three Theban plays, following the stories of Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. The story expands on the Theban legend, and picks up where Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes ends. The play is named after the main protagonist and heroine Antigone. (From Wikipedia.)Oedipus's daughter Antigone deliberately breaks the laws of Thebes when she buries her brother's body and is therefore sentenced to death. She clashes with Creon, the King of Thebes, over what constitutes justice and morality: the laws of the state or the laws of the individual.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Email [email protected] The Ten Commandments Chad Boersema Many focus on MAKING disciples, we hope to help in the process of BEING a disciple of Jesus. Understanding the ten commandments can be a good place to reflect on, as they were one of Israel's first introductions to learning how to relate to God and live in His way. Jesus also references the commandments in his sermon on the mount saying, “...whoever does them [the commandments] will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:19) Looking forward to exploring these with you!
