The image of classical antiquity that most of us learned in school overlooks misogyny while simultaneously omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Many of today's harmful practices, such as school dress codes, environmental exploitation, and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world. But in *Antigone's Rebirth*, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that myths have subversive power because they are told—and can be read—in so many different ways. Through these stories, whether it's Antigone's courageous stand against tyranny or the indomitable Caeneus, who inspires transgender and nonbinary people today, Morales unveils hidden truths about solidarity, empowerment, and catharsis.

*Antigone's Rebirth* offers us a new way of understanding the stories we take for granted and shows us how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo and critique unjust regimes.
