"Antigone," which is last in terms of the unfolding of the myth's timeline, is considered to have been written by the ancient Greek Sophocles (c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.) by 441 B.C.E.

"Oedipus Rex," which is first in terms of the unfolding storyline, is considered to have been written by Sophocles by 429 B.C.E.

"Oedipus at Colonus," which is second, is considered to have been written by Sophocles shortly before his death, around 406 B.C.E. In fact, the first performance of the play is recorded as 401 B.C.E. The performance was organized by Sophocles' namesake and grandson after the famous playwright's death.

What are the names of 4 theban plays written by sophocles?

"Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus" and "Antigone" are the three plays about Oedipus by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the above-mentioned plays deal with the mistaken self-identity that Theban King Oedipus has of himself and the impact that this flawed self-image has on himself and his children. The above-mentioned order in which the plays are listed honor the chronology of events in the lives of Oedipus and his children. But that is not the order of their writing by the ancient Greek playwright. Instead, the order of writing reverses, with "Oedipus at Colonus" being written after "Antigone."
