yes, the law belongs to him so its God's law. Gods is plural.

Well, since you are talking about Antigone, it might be "the gods' laws" since the ancient Greeks believed in many gods. If you say "God's law" and capitalize it, it makes it refer to Judeo-Christian concept of one God.
You do need an apostrophe-- but where it goes is determined by the number of deities!

I believe it should say "Antigone chose to follow the Gods' laws" actually since she is a believer of polytheism.
Good Luck!!!

Personally, I would say it needs an apostraphe because the law belongs to God.

It is God's law as it is showing possession. To write Gods law is plural meaning multiple gods. You need the apostrophe.

There should be an apostrophe after the "d" in God. Not because it is plural as Melli had said(there is only one of him) but becasue it is a singular posessive(The Law belongs to God)

God's. Unless Antigone was following more than one god, in which case it would be gods'.

It is a singular possessive, God's law.
