The thirteenth century B.C.E. most likely is Antigone's era in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, no information on ages or timelines is given in the play. But from other sources it is known that Antigone's nephew Thersander is a Trojan War contemporary if not participant. The war may be dated to 1194 B.C.E. - 1184 B.C.E. Thersander is no more than a child at the time of Antigone's death. So the play's events most likely take place some 20-30 years before the Trojan War, 1214 B.C.E. - 1224 B.C.E.
