{"product_id":"antigone-book-brendan-kennelly-9781852243647","title":"Antigone","description":"After the death of Oedipus, his sons turn on each other. When both  are killed, the inflexible Creon becomes King of Thebes. While the loyal Eteocles is buried with due honour, Creon orders that the body of his rebellious brother Polyneices should be left to rot. But his sister Antigone refuses to let this happen. Sophocles’ great play dramatises the resulting conflict, a battle of wills which leads to inevitable tragedy.  Antigone was a set text on the new Leaving Certificate syllabus in Ireland. This edition includes short essays by Brendan Kennelly, Terence Brown and Kathleen McCracken. It is out of print in this edition but the whole text is included in When Then Is Now: Three Greek Tragedies.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49529697403153,"sku":"GOR001927464","price":6.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49728303038737,"sku":"GOR001930824","price":6.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852243643.jpg?v=1751456897","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/antigone-book-brendan-kennelly-9781852243647","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
