I introduced the story of Polyneices and Eteocles, the sons of Oedipus who went to war over control of Thebes after Oedipus' death. Antigone picks up just after the brothers have killed each other in battle, and Polyneices has been declared a traitor by the new king, Creon. We read the Prologue, Parados, and Scene 1.
