Oedipus Rex

About The Author

Sophocles (c. 497/6–406/5 BCE) was an ancient Greek playwright renowned for his significant contributions to the development of drama. As one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, his most famous works include Oedipus Rex and Antigone, which are celebrated for their complex characters and exploration of fate and morality. Sophocles' innovations in theatrical structure and character development have left a lasting impact on the art of storytelling.
