Greek In Greek mythology, the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta; sister of Eteocles and Polynices. Antigone accompanied her blind father when he went into exile. Her two brothers killed each other in the war of the Seven Against Thebes. King Creon of Thebes forbade the burial of the rebel Polynices. Antigone disobeyed the king's order and performed her brother's burial service herself. In one version of the myth, Antigone finally hanged herself after Creon ordered her to be buried alive. In another version, Antigone was rescued by a son of Creon and sent to live among shepherds. Antigone was one of Sophocles' greatest plays. The tragic heroine appears also in Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus, in Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes, in Euripides' The Phoenician Women, and in Antigone by Jean Cocteau (1889–1963), which has a 20th-century setting.
