Best Answer

It is unknown when Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) wrote the play "Antigone."

Specifically, specialists in ancient Greek literature have ways of analyzing cultural references and stylistic devices. They then identify a range of possible dates. Given the preceding, and considering the political situation of the time, it is thought that the play dates to around 442 B.C.E. or 441 B.C.E.
