Antigone (Ancient Greek: แผฮฝฯฮนฮณฯฮฝฮท) is a tragedy by Sophocles written in or before 441 BC.
Of the three Theban plays Antigone is the third in order of the events depicted in the plays, but it is the first that was written. The play expands on the Theban legend that predates it, and it picks up where Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes ends.
