After the deaths of the dead Oedipus’ sons Eteocles and Polynices (who have both recently died at each other’s hands in a civil war for the Theban throne), Oedipus' brother-in-law and new Theban King Creon has ordered the public honoring of Eteocles and the public shaming of Thebes' traitor Polynices. However, their sister Antigone attempts to bury the body of Polynices, going against her uncle Creon’s decree and placing her relationship with her brother above human laws. As a result she is captured, tried and sentenced to death by live entombment. Eventually, Antigone hangs herself in her underground tomb, which leads to the suicide of her fiancé and Croen’s son, Haemon. Upon learning of her son’s death, Creon’s wife, Eurydice, kills herself too.
