I think Crouching Tiger was probably the first tragic story I ever saw with a female antiheroine. The movie was quite important to me in that sense, and possibly even causal (I'm not entirely sure why I became fixated on tragic antiheroines from very early on, but I did)

Hm. Does Antigone count as an anti-heroine, or did the Greeks just mostly not distinguish the two

I think the Greeks went in less deeply on what we'd think of as moralizing, being a pre-Christian society with morals more alien to us than Shakespeare Antigone is tragic, whether her tragic desires are misguided or wrong isn't really the point
