Description

In the constellation of the 7 surviving tragedies of Sophocles, "Antigone" is considered the brightest star. This excessive, often, appreciation concerned at times the figure of the heroine, at other times the work itself, and at times a vague combination of both.

"You are right regarding 'Antigone,'" wrote Shelley to John Gisborne in October 1821. "What a high image of a woman! And what can one say about the choral odes, especially the lyrical lament of the divine victim? And the threats of Teiresias, and how quickly they come true? Some of us have loved an Antigone in a past life, and this makes us find no complete satisfaction in any mortal bond."

In his lectures on Aesthetics (1820-1829), Hegel refers to this work as "one of the highest and most complete, from every point of view, works of art that human endeavor has ever created." In his lectures on the history of philosophy, delivered between 1819 and 1830, he invokes the heroine, "the celestial Antigone, the noblest figure that ever appeared on Earth...".
