Antigone: Sophocles help?

Question

Does anyone know five Biographical facts about the author?

I have two lame ones... any sites?

What are some memorable quotes from Antigone?

Why is it important that the play begins the way it does?

I don't get it...

Answer 1

I recommend a website called "SpakrNotes," which abbreviates the story and gives lots of information about the author, characters, plot, theme, and the like.  If there is a brick and mortar bookstore nearby, you might try looking for "Cliff Notes," which does the same thing.
