contents Let $G$ be a finite graph on $[n]:=\{1, \ldots, n\}$ and $κ(G)$ its vertex connectivity. Let $S=K[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$ denote the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and $I(G^c)$ the edge ideal of the complementary graph $G^c$ of $G$. It is a classical result that ${\rm depth} S/I(G^c) \leq κ(G) + 1$. We give a sharp lower bound of ${\rm depth} S/I(G^c)$ in terms of $n$ and $κ(G)$. Furthermore, a sharp lower bound of ${\rm depth} S/I(G^c)^2$ as well as that of ${\rm depth} S/I(G^c)^{(2)}$ in terms of $n$ and $κ(G)$ is given.
