About this listen
In this episode, the Dead Language Ladies continue the conversation of last episode and dive into Sophocles' complicated and compelling play Antigone, which, as its name suggests, centers around the daring, snarky heroine, Antigone, daughter of the recently disgraced and exiled Oedipus. We discuss everything from the role of women in tragedy, the purpose of the half-removed, often strange choral odes, and the even more perverse relationships between Creon, Ismene, Antigone, and Haemon unraveling in the wake of Oedipus' tragic downfall, whose ripples are still wreaking havoc in the lives of his incestuously-born children.
