"Ajax," "Antigone," "Electra," "Oedipus the King," "Oedipus at Colonus," "Philoctetes," and "Trachinian Women" are tragic plays by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, it is thought that Sophocles may have written as many as 123 plays. But only seven (7) have been found in complete form. Three of the surviving plays - "Antigone," "Oedipus the King" and "Oedipus at Colonus" - deal with the family of disgraced Theban King Oedipus. The remaining four are connected with famous participants in the Trojan War.
The three tragic poets of ancient Greece are Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. They each wrote plays that explored themes of fate, morality, and the human condition, and their works are considered masterpieces of classical literature.
