"Antigone is one of the plays of a trilogy written by Sophocles called the Theban plays. Antigone was not only daughter to Oedipus but also his sister. Oedipus unknowingly married his mother, which makes Jocasta, Antigone’s mother and grandmother at the same time" (Scholarly Edition).  "When Antigone... chooses to obey the law of the gods rather than an unconscionable command from Creon, ruler of Thebes, she is condemned to death" (Barnes & Nobles).
