Dear Steve,
Antigone is also mentioned in an early short story; untitled, and unpublished in Woolf's lifetime, but published under the title 'A Dialogue Upon Mount Pentelicus' in The Complete Shorter Fiction ed. Susan Dick (2nd edn 1989).
Best wishes,
Bryony

Steve --
Woof refers to Antigone in A Room of One’s Own and Three Guineas, and both Sophocles’ tragedy and the idea of a woman buried alive/sacrificing for her brothers figures prominently in her novel The Years.

I am taking a course on Greek Tragedy, revisiting plays I read in college 40+ years ago, re-grounding myself in the classical world with shall we say a matured perspective.
I read VW's ON NOT KNOWING GREEK but seem to remember (maybe I am wrong) that elsewhere she talked about ANTIGONE. .
Can anyone point me to that discussion if it indeed exists.?
