Is Sophocles the first dramatist and the first actor?

No, ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is not considered the first dramatist and the first actor.Specifically, Sophocles' dramatic career comes after the pioneering endeavors of ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus (525/534 B.C.E. - 455/456 B.C.E.). Aeschylus is considered the father of Greek tragedy, but not of Greek plays. Nevertheless, it is his military achievements, and not one of his dramatic accomplishments, that are memorialized on his gravestone.

Who were the first dramatist?

Aeschylus is recognised as the father of tragedy. Following has been copied from Wikipedia entry for him.Aeschylus (pronounced /ˈɛskɨləs/ or /ˈiːskɨləs/, Greek: Αἰσχύλος, Aiskhulos, c. 525 BC/524 BC - c. 456 BC/455 BC) was an ancient Greek playwright. He is often recognized as the father of tragedy,[1][2] and is the earliest of the three Greek tragedians whose plays survive, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in plays to allow for conflict among them; previously, characters interacted only with the chorus. Only seven of an estimated seventy to ninety plays by Aeschylus have survived into modern times; one of these plays, Prometheus Bound, is widely thought to be the work of a later author.At least one of Aeschylus' works was influenced by the Persian invasion of Greece, which took place during his lifetime. His play The Persians remains a good primary source of information about this period in Greek history. The war was so important to the Greeks and to Aeschylus himself that, upon his death around 456 BC, his epitaph commemorated his participation in the Greek victory at Marathon rather than to his success as a playwright.
