This was required high school reading for my children. My daughters favorite story was Antigone. She read all three plays and enjoyed it so much the book didn't survive!

Oedipus in exile, searching for his identity and achieving immortality; his daughter, Antigone, defending her integrity and ideals to the death--these heroic, tragic figures have captivated theatergoers and readers since the fifth century B C.
Towering over the rest of Greek tragedy, these three plays are among the most enduring and timeless dramas ever written. Robert Fagles' translation conveys all of Sophocles' lucidity and power: the cut and thrust of his dialogue, his ironic edge, the sure and majesty of his choruses, and, above all, the agonies and triumphs of his characters.
