Read the excerpts from "The Royal House of Thebes" and "The Story of a Warrior Queen."

"We are women," she told her sister. "We must obey. We have no strength to defy the State." "Choose your own part," Antigone said. "I go to bury the brother I love." "You are not strong enough," Ismene cried. "Why, then when my strength fails," Antigone answered, "I will give up." She left her sister; Ismene dared not follow her.

Will you follow me, men?" and of course the men followed her gladly.
