In the case of Argentine culture, among the non-proprietary elements are those that belong to the GrecoLatin culture, among them the literary system, on which we focus our gaze. For various purposes, the authors appropriate the classical greco-latin texts by re-elaborating and resignifying them. In this paper we focus on a rewriting of Antigone by Sophocles: Antígonas: linaje de hembras by Jorge Huertas, contemporary Argentine playwright, to analyze the relationships and confrontations that are gestated around the use/abuse of power. The transfer of the Greek tragedy to contemporary Argentina allows us to deal with a problem of old roots, the issue of power and the relationships that are established around it, with new perspectives. Thus, the appropriation and recreation of a classic text allows testing new ways of saying reality, always complex and multiple, accounting for the contribution of the ancient world to the Western cultural corpus, in general, and the Argentine, in particular. En el intento por construir su identidad, cada cultura apela a elementos propios y ajenos, tratando de generar representaciones de sí misma. En el caso de la cultura argentina, entre los elementos no propios se encuentran los que pertenecen a la cultura grecolatina, entre ellos el sistema literario, en el que centramos nuestra mirada. Con diversas finalidades, los autores se apropian de los textos clásicos grecolatinos reelaborándolos y resignificándolos. En este trabajo nos centramos en una reescritura de Antígona de Sofócles: Antígonas: linaje de hembras de Jorge Huertas, dramaturgo argentino contemporáneo, para analizar las relaciones y los enfrentamientos que se gestan en torno al uso/abuso del poder. El traslado de la tragedia griega a la Argentina contemporánea permite tratar una problemática de vieja raigambre, el tema del poder y las relaciones que en torno a él se entablan, con nuevas miradas. Así, la apropiación y recreación de un texto clásico permite ensayar nuevos modos de decir la realidad, siempre compleja y múltiple, dando cuenta del aporte del mundo antiguo al corpus cultural occidental, en general, y argentino, en particular.
