From Sophocles' Oedipus trilogy, Antigone is as powerful and as tragic as the other two works. Antigone (the titular character and daughter of Oedipus and his mom), in my opinion, sets the example for all men and women of virtue, even 2,500 years after the story was written.
The poetry and power expressed in the play (more so in some translations than others) is tangible and should be enough to keep the reader's attention. If it isn't though, the cast of The Partially Examined Life have done an excellent reading of the play , along with Lucy Lawless and Paul Provenza.
