The year in which the civil war over the royal succession is fought is
Antigone's death date in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the action of the play takes place the day after the end of the civil war between twin brothers Eteocles and Polyneices. That day also is the day on which Theban Princess Antigone is arrested, tried, sentenced to death and found dead. She is the niece of Thersander, Polyneices' son and Trojan War contemporary if not member of the Greek team hidden within the Trojan Horse. The Trojan War tends to be dated to 1194 B.C.E. - 1184 B.E.C. So Antigone's death date may be 20-30 years earlier.
