Who is the author and when is the date of writing of 'Antigone'?
Sophocles wrote the play "Antigone."Specifically, ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.) is thought to have written over 120 plays. Only a handful survive, of which "Antigone" is one. There is not much of a paper trail for the playwright and his works, but the play is guesstimated to have been written by 442 B.C.E.
Which three plays make up the Oedipus trilogy by Sophocles?
"Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone" are the three plays in the Oedipus trilogy by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Sophocles is not thought to have intended the plays as a trilogy. They are so called because they are three in number, they are among the handful of surviving plays from Sophocles' vast output of over 120 plays, and they deal with the Theban royal family. The above-mentioned list organizes the plays into chronological order, not in the order of writing. In actuality, it is thought that the date of writing is around 442 B.C.E. in terms of "Antigone," 429 B.C.E. in terms of "Oedipus Rex" and 405 B.C.E. in terms of "Oedipus at Colonus."
Who is sophocles?
Sophcles was a dramatist whose long career came between his contemporaries Aeschylus and Euripides. A respected public figure of Athens, he was both a priest and a general (an elected position), but he is best known for the many dramatic prizes he won after 468 B.C. Like the elder Aeschylus, Sophocles was known as an innovator. He is credited with introducing a third actor, expanding the chorus from 12 to 15 players and replacing the trilogy form with self-contained tragedies. It is estimated he wrote more than 120 plays, of which only seven are extant (hundreds of fragments survived also). His most famous play, Oedipus Tyrannus (also known as Oedipus Rex or Oedipus the King), is considered by many to be the apex of Greek dramatic irony. His other plays include Antigone, Electra, Trachiniae (The Women of Trachis) and Oedipus at Colonus (produced after his death).Sophocles was a Greek writer of tragedy.
Why did Sophocles write 'Antigone'?
No one knows why Sophocles wrote "Antigone."Specifically, only seven of the 120+ plays written by the ancient Greek dramatist (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) survive. There is no surviving commentary by the author on any of his works and neither is there a surviving body of letters, biographies or autobiographies. But one can guesstimate that Sophocles felt a personal commitment since he was born in Colonus, the death place of Theban Princess Antigone's father, King Oedipus. Additionally, tragedy in ancient Greek royal houses was a hot topic for the cultivated, theater-going Athenian audience for which the competitive, cultured Sophocles wrote.
What was Aeschylus famous for?
Aeschylus was, like Euripedes and Sophocles, a playwright. He wrote tragedies and thus became famous and his plays are still used and read in contemporary times.

His plays explored themes such as fate, free will, and the consequences of hubris, influencing the development of Western drama.
