Violence is absent from the stage in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, one of the rules in ancient Greek theater is the non-depiction of onstage violence. Instead, it is acceptable to have a messenger or servant report offstage violence. The rule keeps the audience's attention focused on the onstage action and on the points that the dramatist makes in the play.
