Sophocles, one of ancient Greece's most celebrated playwrights, was born around 497/6 BCE in Colonus, near Athens. A key figure in the development of Greek tragedy, he authored over 120 plays, with only seven surviving in complete form, including the iconic "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone." His innovative use of character depth and dramatic structure transformed theatrical storytelling. Sophocles' legacy endures, influencing literature and drama for centuries, illustrating the complexities of human nature and fate, and laying foundational stones for Western literature.
