Antigone (/ænˈtɪɡəni/ ann-TIG-ə-nee; Ἀντιγόνη) is a play by the Attic dramatist Euripides, which is now lost except for a number of fragments.

According to Aristophanes of Byzantium, the plot was similar to that of Sophocles' play Antigone, with three differences.

Sophocles' Antigone (c. 441 BCE) told the story of how Oedipus' daughter Antigone buried the body of her brother Polynices who had led an invasion of Thebes, defying the order of her uncle Creon who was ruling Thebes.

[1] Per Hyginus, Creon had delegated the task of executing Antigone to his son Haemon, not knowing that they were secretly betrothed.

[2][3] Huddilston, believing the vases and Hyginus fable to relate to Euripides' play, reconstructed the plot as follows.

[4] Zimmerman has suggested that the likely theme of the play involving Polynices as a traitor who was denied burial mirrored events of the Peloponnesian War in 411 BCE, which may be a further clue to the date of Antigone.
