ANTIGONE Daughter of Oedipus and Jokaste, she was unaware of her bastardic origins until she and her sister and two brothers consulted an oracle, on a different matter. The siblings reacted differently, Antigone being the only one who stayed with her father, after Oedipus had put out his own eyes, and wandered the land. When he finally died, in Attica, Antigone returned to Thebes, to whose throne Kreon, her uncle, succeeded after the two brothers Eteokles and Polyneikes killed each other in combat.
