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.

You can read their particular translation here.

Five days late, I have another daily resource suggestion.  I have a huge original content post that I've been working on all month, and life has really gotten ahead of me, but we will have some OC within the week, I promise.  lol

Today's suggestion is more of a tool, one which I will likely be posting specific resources from in the future.  Formerly Books Should be Free, the site is now Loyal Books.  This site is dedicated to spreading knowledge by way of making all books whose copyright protections have lapsed freely available to all.  For the most part, they are available in audiobook form, primarily through Librivox.  This has been a great resource for me, making audiobooks free so that I can listen to them while driving or working without paying more than the book costs for an audible subscription or comparable service.

Admittedly, because they are the "public domain" books, most of the books written in the last century are not available.  However, One can still get a primer in philosophy, reading/listening to primary sources and anarchy with Lysander Spooner.
