Notes

Sophocles was an ancient Greek playwright, born around 497/6 BC in Colonus, near Athens. He is one of the three great tragedians of classical Greece, alongside Aeschylus and Euripides. Sophocles is best known for his contributions to drama, particularly through his Theban Plays, which include the famous tragedies "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone." His works are characterized by complex characters, moral dilemmas, and the exploration of fate and free will. Sophocles' influence on Western literature and theater is profound, as his plays continue to be studied and performed worldwide.
