Antigone (1962)

In the Ancient Greek city of Thebes, King Oedipus killed his father and married his mother Jocasta, having two sons – Eteocles and Polynieces – and two daughters – Ismene and Antigone. King Oedipus died a beggar in the exile after gouging out his own eyes, and Eteocles agreed to reign in Thebes in alternating years with Polynieces. However, Eteocles refuses to resign after the first year and Polynieces is exiled. Polynieces raises an army and attacks Thebes, and the two brothers kill each other.
