The living story
The story so far
Antigone defied Creon's edict to bury her brother Polynices, was walled up alive in a tomb, and hanged herself with her veil before the king relented. Creon lost his son and wife to the aftermath.
Happening now
The songs still argue her case, which means she won. The tomb is a shrine now; girls leave veils there.
What may come
Her sister Ismene survived and told the story. Every telling adds a detail; the dust in Antigone's hand stays the same.
