*read for school* It was surprisingly enjoyable. Antigone is a baddie tbh. She was ready to die!!! Also, this translation is great; it reads well and is accessible - recommend this edition for anyone who wants to read it.

4.5- big fan of Greek tragedies, will probably read more Sophocles soon. This was actually really funny in places, and some of the characters were very sassy! For being written so long ago, it surprised me how the dialogue translated so well into modern times. Pretty easy read, although some of the Chorus monologues I had to read a couple times to figure out exactly what they were trying to say. Not 5 stars because I didn’t like the ending

Odio el teatro. Creonte tirano tuvo su merecido, ni un deseo de apaciguar las cosas. Pero bien cobarde el pueblo que tienen que andar esperando que lleguen los dioses a través de Tiresias para juzgarlo.
