Manos Katrakis

When a blood feud takes the life of Antigone's (Irene Papas) outlaw brother, the tyrannical King of Thebes decrees that the body he denied a proper burial. In defiance of the law of the king (her uncle), Antigone heroically holds to the calling of a more sublime decree -- no matter what the price in the world of the flesh. Made with the assistance of the Greek army.

Two children witness their father's murder by their mother and her lover. After years of exile, the children return to avenge his death. Adapted from Euripides' classic tragedy "Electra."
