"This book is a thought-provoking and useful addition to the scholarship on Antigone, the most often performed and re-worked of all the Greek tragedies." -- Classics for All "Stuttard offers an illuminating introduction . I was delighted to be given the opportunity to read and review this wonderfully diverse collection of essays .

Not to be missed!" -- Michael Scott, Associate Professor in Classics and Ancient History, University of Warwick, UK "Stuttard's eminently speakable translation is richly illuminated by essays probing not only Antigone's uncompromising moral imagination and abiding influence but also Theban society's dilemmas in the aftermath of civil war." -- Niall W. Slater, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Latin and Greek, Emory University, USA "A first-rate companion to an enduringly famous play.
