The following article, dedicated to the memory of Professor Mariano Álvarez Gómez, is based on his studies about the nature of the tragic conflict. In Oedipus Rex, this conflict is illustrated by the struggle between reality and appearance, between appearance and being, and the conflict is all the more tragic the more Oedipus persists in knowing its origin. In Antigone, following the Hegelian interpretation, the conflict turns round the Greek concept of phrónesis and shows itself through the successive clashes among the main protagonists of the tragedy, but the possibility of overcoming this conflict is always open. In the end, it is intimated another interpretation that affirms the impossibility of overcoming it and the function that art plays in that case.
