Abstract

This work proposes to revisit Sophocles’ Antigone, with the aim of, based on Aristotle’s Poetics, rethinking some constitutive elements of this tragedy, especially those concerning the concept of “virtue”. The above, based on the argumentative opposition between the action of Creon and that of Antigone, which, in my opinion, is important
to address ethical issues in current times.
