چکیده:
The political thought of ancient Greece is rooted in the myths of this civilization. The movement of Greek philosophers, especially in Athens, from the mythical world to rationalism arose in pursuit of the transformations and developments of this society. In some Greek city-states (during this same period), monarchical and aristocratic rule turned into democracy, and in others, it transformed into dictatorship. Given these developments, myths—especially in the political sphere—underwent a fundamental transformation, and the type of tragedy known as political myth emerged in the form of political theater during this period of Greek societal evolution. The political myth of Antigone is one of the most important of these tragedies, illustrating the struggle between freedom and autocracy and clarifying its tragic consequences for the survival of the city-state, the people, and the ruler. Using an analytical-descriptive method, this article attempts to examine this struggle based on the political and social developments of the city-state of Athens and the Greek world.

In the play, he placed Creon instead of Pericles, Haemon 3 and his mother instead of the people, and Antigone instead of himself, to criticize the direct democracy of Athens and also considered its ominous tragic fate similar to the city-state of Thebes; thus, "after the performance of Antigone in the Theater of Dionysus, it gained great popularity.
