Antigone Now

E£85.00

Antigone begins with The two sons of Oedipus, Eteocles and Polyneices, who are fighting for the kingship of Thebes. Both men die in the battle. Their successor, Creon, decides that King Eteocles will be buried, but Polyneices, because he was leading a foreign army, will be left on the field of battle. Antigone, his sister, buries him anyway.

Antigone is caught burying Polyneices and is condemned to death. Her fiance and Creon's son, Haemon, learns about this and tries to convince Creon to change his mind. It's only then that the seer Tiresias appears. After a long discussion, he finally persuades Creon that the gods want Polyneices buried. By then it's too late Antigone has hung herself, Haemon kills himself when he finds her, and Creon's wife kills herself when she learns about her son.

Realism diminishes reality, weakens it, and falsifies it. It does not take into account our main facts and our basic concerns such as love, death, and astonishment, it introduces the human being into an imperfect and alienated perspective, and ignores that reality exists in our dreams in our imagination.

    And what after God has honored me, by virtue of my profession as a psychiatrist, with more than half a century of experience, is it right for me to keep all this to myself? As I offer my knowledge and experience to my patients - and as much as possible - I have resolved to present all this in a book, which is a mutual conversation between me and the other party, which is you, the generous reader, so that you may benefit from it by the grace of God, and perhaps also benefit those around you.
