In this book, Wm. Blake Tyrrell and Larry J. Bennett examine
Sophocles' Antigone in the context of its setting in fifth-century
Athens. The authors attempt to create an interpretive environment
that is true to the issues and interests of fifth-century
Athenians, as opposed to those of modern scholars and philosophers.
As they contextualize the play in the dynamics of ancient Athens,
the authors discuss the text of the Antigone in light of recent
developments in the study of Greek antiquity and tragedy, and they
turn to modern Greek rituals of lamentation for suggestive
analogies. The result is a compelling book which opens new insights
to the text, challenges the validity of old problems, and eases
difficulties in its interpretation.
