«Antigone et le mythe d'Oedipe» is a school edition of theater and mythology by Sophocles, Jean Anouilh and Jean Cocteau, published by Hatier in paperback (96 pages, in French).
The work brings together extracts from «Antígona» and «Edipo rey» by Sophocles, from «Antígona» by Anouilh and from «La máquina infernal» by Cocteau to explore two inseparable myths: Oedipus, who unwittingly fulfills a fated destiny by killing his father and marrying his mother, and Antigone, who buries her brother defying Creon's prohibition.
Prepared by Ariane Carrère under the direction of Hélène Potelet, it belongs to the Œuvres & thèmes collection and includes 11 annotated extracts, a reading balance and an art history dossier.
School support edition for secondary education in France, also useful for discovering Greek theater and its modern versions.
Sophocles was an ancient Greek tragedian, one of three from whom at least two plays have survived in full. His first plays were written later than, or contemporary with, those of Aeschylus and earlier than, or contemporary with, those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote more than 120 plays, but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, Women of Trachis, Oedipus Rex, Electra, Philoctetes, and Oedipus at Colonus. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens, which took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in 30 competitions, won 24, and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won 13 competitions and was sometimes beaten by Sophocles; Euripides won four.
