Antigone is an ancient tragedy of Sophocles, most likely presented in the Great Dionysia of 441 BC. Its subject comes from the ancient city Thebes, from which Sophocles drew material for two of his other tragedies, Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonos . The fictional events of Antigone are later chronological than those of the two Oedipus-tragedies, but Antigone was introduced before them. Her subject is Antigone's attempt to bury the second of her two dead brothers, Polyneikes, despite Creon's (king of Thebes) contrary command, putting the honor of the gods and her brother's love above human laws. Antigone is Sophocles' second oldest surviving tragedy, after Ajax. The movie appeared on 22nd of January, 1961 and is remarkable for the accurate sceneries and the renown actors, such as Irene Papas, Manos Katrakis, Maro Kontou and others
