Yes, there is alliteration in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, alliteration refers to a literary device whereby at least two words in succession begin with the same letter. Any example from the play is dependent upon the particular edition or language being used. But one early example from one of the English translations of the original Greek text has Theban Princess Ismene describe her sister, Princess Antigone, as having a "hot heart for chilling deeds" in the Prologue.
