Antigone was one of Oedipus’ four offspring, alongside her brothers Eteocles and Polynices, and her sister Ismene. One day, Ismene shared troubling news with her: their two brothers, both heirs to Thebes' throne, were locked in a fierce battle for control. Although they had previously agreed to rule in turns, Eteocles broke their pact when it was time to relinquish the crown to Polynices. This betrayal sparked a violent conflict between them.
