Sophocles: Antigone, Revisited


  • Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies (map)

Please join this week’s Online Reading of Greek Tragedy with Sophocles’ classic and timely drama, “Antigone.” To the philosopher Hegel, the tragedy of Antigone exposed the tragic chasm between the "Divine Law," personified by Antigone, and the "Human Law," represented by Creon. In like manner, philosopher Jacques Maritain considered Antigone as the very "heroine of the natural law:" Hosted by Joel Christensen, with special guest James Collins. Presented by the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies, the Kosmos Society, and the Out of Chaos Theatre. Stream this live and archived video HERE.
