Freud was a great lover of literature and, in particular, classical theatre, so much that he derived from it the fundamental idea of psychoanalysis - the Oedipus complex - and that he applied the psychoanalytic model to the interpretation of various literary works. After analyzing the peculiar way in which Freud made use of Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex, it is discussed why he never considered another Sophoclean tragedy, Antigone, a work very rich in ideas about childhood development and close to his heart, as witnessed by the fact that he used to call "Antigone" his daughter Anna.
