AThe goal of the protagonist in Sophocles´play is to bury her brother Polyneices even though it is illegal. Antigone, the protagonist, wants her brother Polyneices to have a proper burial in defiance of King Creon's edict.

In Greek mythology, Antigone is the daughter of Oedipus and his mother Jocasta. The meaning of the name is, as in the case of the masculine equivalent Antigonus, "worthy of one's parents" or "in place of one's parents".
