초록

This study aims to examine Antigone’ role of raising a question to the state-oriented ideology in Ancient Greek, and analyze what it signifies to women in charge of the private sphere, Oikos. It also explains that Antigone the protagonist’s role as the heroine overwhelming male characters is intended to educate the audience the dynamics: a new public order cannot be realized without respecting the private world when the private world conflicts with the public world. Sophocles’ Antigone  presents the problem as a family conflict through the confrontation between Antigone, who wants to protect the private sphere, and Creon, who prioritizes the protection of the state. So Athenian audiences can realistically consider the cause demanded by the state. In it, Antigone serves as a person who raises a question to the ideological coercion of the public world. Antigone shows that a woman’s voice limited to the private sphere awakens the dignity of women and the importance of the realm in relation to national power, even though the work adopts the typical image of women in ancient literature. In the end, this can be regarded as being in line with feminism’s politics of participation in the reality in that the woman educated the public on how to modify and supplement the male-centered political world.
