The play 'Antigone' was written about 443, 441 B.C.E.* It first was performed about 440 B.C.E. Yet no information is given in the play as to Antigone's age or her birth date. But the city of Thebes may have been founded around 2000 B.C.E. The founder was Antigone's great great great grandfather, Cadmus. Antigone represented the sixth generation from Cadmus and his wife Harmonia. Each generation may be guesstimated within a range of 20-40 years. That would mean 120-240 years after the city's founding. So Antigone may have been born sometime between 1880 and 1760 B.C.E. *Before the Christian Era.
