Sophocles is one of the three great ancient Greek tragedians, the other two being Aeschylus and Euripides, who wrote and lived during the 5th century BCE. Though so many of his works were lost, the seven that survived to this day are not only considered classics, but also foundational in regards to literature, the arts in general, and culture.
