William Butler Yeats's poem "From the Antigone" was created as an adaptation of the Eros chorus from the play. The poem deals with many themes that occur in the play and Yeats says the there is nothing stronger than love in this world. In the end, the poem takes a turn for the worse as it speaks that fate and destiny are stronger than love, which is something that occurred to Antigone in the poem.
