Sophoc

Sophocles, also known as Sophokles, was an ancient Greek tragedian, born in 497 BC in Colonus, a deme of Athens. He is one of the three great classical Greek tragedians, along with Aeschylus and Euripides. Sophocles is renowned for his plays, which often explored themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of human actions. His most famous works include "Oedipus Rex," "Antigone," and "Electra." "Oedipus Rex" is particularly notable for its exploration of the tragic hero and the concept of hubris. Sophocles' plays were highly influential and continue to be studied and performed today. He died in 406 BC, leaving behind a legacy that has shaped Western drama and literature.
