Sophocles, one of the greatest playwrights of Ancient Greece, was born in Colono, near Athens, in 496 BC. He is widely recognized for his innovative contributions to Greek theater, especially in the development of tragedy. Sophocles introduced several innovations to the stage, including the addition of a third actor, which allowed for more complex and rich dramatic interactions between characters.
Throughout his long and prolific career, Sophocles wrote more than 120 plays, although only seven have survived in full to this day. Among his most famous works are "Oedipus Rex," "Antigone," and "Electra." These tragedies explore profound and universal themes, such as fate, justice, and morality, and are known for the complexity of their characters and the emotional intensity of their narratives.
Sophocles also stood out in his public life. He held various important positions in Athens, including that of strategos (military commander), and was actively involved in the political life of the city. His influence extended beyond the theater, significantly impacting Athenian culture and society. Today, Sophocles is remembered not only as a master of tragedy but also as a key figure in the development of Western drama, whose works continue to resonate with contemporary audiences.
