Athenian Greek is the dialect in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Princess Antigone lived and died in the ancient Greek city of Thebes during the twelfth (12th) century B.C.E. Her story is told most famously by Sophocles, a dramatist who was born in Colonus, but spent his adult and professional life in nearby Athens during the fifth (5th) century B.C.E. Sophocles therefore used the Athenian dialect even though Antigone would have spoken a much older, Theban dialectical form of ancient Greek.
