ИСТИНА

The figure of Antigone has never ceased to preoccupy philosophers, writers, and classical scholars. As George Steiner made clear in his "Antigones" (1984), she has been the object of obsession from the end of the 18th century until the present day. The various interpretations that continue to be made prove that "Antigone" seems to be the most modern of the Greek plays. What exactly makes "Antigone" and specifically her character so modern is analyzed through adaptations in modern and contemporary theatre (Cintia Taylor), journalism (Natalie Haynes, Elizabeth Bobrick), literature (Leopoldo Marechal, Kamila Shamsie), and in more detail through the translation of the play by Anne Carson ("Antigonick").
