2 About Sophocles

496–406

Sophocles (; Ancient Greek: Σοφοκλῆς, pronounced, Sophoklễs; c. 497/496 – winter 406/405 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian, one of three from whom at least two plays have survived in full. His first plays were written later than, or contemporary with, those of Aeschylus and earlier than, or contemporary with, those of Euripides.
