Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This finely-tuned translation of Sophocles' Antigone by Richard Emil Braun offers, in lean, sinewy verse and lyrics of unusual intensity, an interpretation informed by exemplary scholarship and critical insight. Braun presents an Antigone not marred by excessive sentimentality or pietistic attitudes. His interpretation demonstrates the extraordinary structural symmetry and beauty of Sophocles' design by focusing on the balanced and harmonious view oftragically oppressed wills that makes the play so perennially moving.
Disaster follows when Creon, King of Thebes, forbids Antigone to bury her brother whom he has declared a traitor.
