Many of today's harmful practices, like school dress codes, exploitation of the environment, and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world.\u003cbr\u003eBut in \u003ci\u003eAntigone Rising\u003c\/i\u003e, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they are told -- and read -- in different ways. Through these stories, whether it's Antigone's courageous stand against tyranny or the indestructible Caeneus, who inspires trans and gender queer people today, Morales uncovers hidden truths about solidarity, empowerment, and catharsis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAntigone Rising \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a fresh understanding of the stories we take for granted, showing how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo, spark resistance, and rail against unjust regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelen Morales\u003c\/b\u003e holds the Argyropoulos Chair in Hellenic Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
