More information about Final Jeopardy:
Antigone, the daughter-sister of Oedipus (thanks to Oedipus’ relationship with his mother Jocasta), was the subject of a play by Sophocles. Her brothers Eteocles and Polynices were supposed to share rule, but Eteocles refused to cede rule to his brothers, and Polynices was expelled. Polynices then attacked Thebes (known as Seven Against Thebes) and both brothers died. Antigone defied a ruling by the successor king Creon not to mourn Polynices’ death, and was ordered locked in a tomb, where she elected to hang herself.
Information about the Anne Carson translation, “Antigonick”, was described at Found in Translation.
