Zeitschrift für Klassische Philologie, Patristik und lateinische Tradition
This article purposes to explain some critic questions about Antigone with particular reference to the conflict between State’s law and universal ethical rules, between religion and politics, individual conscience and reason of State. The analysis makes use of comparison with Tobit's biblical story related in the Old Testament's book of Tobia aimed to explain the ideal subject of Sophoclean drama through similarities that recall a cultural common inheritance going back to bronze age and extending to archaic and classic age from the egeo-anatolic area to the near East.
