Which famous play did Sophocles write?

Answer 1

Antigone and Oedipus Rex are two famous plays that Sophocles [c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.] wrote. A third play, 'Oedipus at Colonus', isn't as well known as the other two. All three plays deal with the consequences of the tragic ignorance of Theban King Oedipus.

Answer 2

Here is a list. Sophocles most famous surviving work includes the Theban plays: Oedipus Rex(sometimes called Oedipus Tyrannus) Oedipus at Colonus, and Antigone. Although these plays deal with the similar subjects, it has been conjectured that they in fact come from different collections of works and the three plays should not be seen as a trilogy. His surviving works also include Trachinian Women, Ajax, Philoctes, and Electra. The few works that remain are outstanding; however, it is hard not to wonder about what literary jewels have been lost to the ages. The lost work of Sophocles is said to include Water-Carriers, Judgment, Assembly of the Achaeans, Banquet of the Achaeans, Ethiopians, Scyrians, Larissaeans, Iberians, Phaeacians, Mysians, Phrygians, Muses, Captive Women, Phthian Women, Scythian Women, Camicians, Colchian Women, Lemnian Women (two versions), Laconian Women, Lovers of Achilles, Momus, Image Bearers, Shepherds, Root-Cutters, Theseus, Atreus, Iphigenia, Odysseus, Madness of Odysseus, Andromache, Daedalus, Meleager, Pandora, Minos, Tantalus, Eris, Cerberus, Laocoon, Ion, Ixion, Sisyphus, Andromeda, Niobe, Voyage of Nauplius , Troilus, Phaedra, Triptolemus, Helen Claimed, Marriage of Helen, Helen Seized, Philoctetes at Troy, Clytemnestra, Tyro (two), the Fire-Kindler, Acrisius, Alexander, Priam,Amphiaraus, Euryalus, Danae, Hermione, Iobates, Aletes, Dionysiskos, Pelias, Epigoni, Amphitryon, Athamas (two), Heracles, Heracles at Taenarum, Tyndareus, Akanthoplex, Tympanists, Thyestes (three), Admetus, Phoenix, Aegisthus, Ajax of Locris, Cedalion, Chryses, Creusa, Nausicaa, Eriphyle, Erigone, Eumelus, Sinon, Oeneus, Aegeus, Eurypylus, Polyxena, Palamedes, Memnon, Thamyras, Inachus, Teucer, Hippodamia, Tereus, Nauplius, , Salmoneus, Procris, Oenomaus, Amycus, Eurysaces, , Peleus, Iocles, Hipponous, Alcmaeon, Herakleiskos, Phrixus, Polyides, Phineus (two versions), Iambe, Hybris, Dolopes, Antenoridae, Aleadae.
