One of the years between 1250 B.C.E. and 1225 B.C.E. is a possibility in terms of the year in which Antigone is born in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, no information on dates or ages is given in the play. But Homer describes Thersander as contemporary with if not a participant in the Trojan War. That war tends to be dated to 1194 B.C.E. - 1184 B.C.E. Thersander is Polyneices' son and therefore Antigone's nephew.
