His childhood and his education may have been the inspiration for the plays that Sophocles [c. 496 B.C.E. - c. 406 B.C.E.] wrote. Specifically, Sophocles' family were residents of Colonus. The city was famous as the reputed place of death of Theban King Oedipus, whose story became the subject of three famous plays by Sophocles.
Additionally, Sophocles had the best of educations available in his hometown, and then in the sophisticated capital of Athens. He would have been well versed in ancient history, literature and religion. So it was easy for him to draw on any one of the disciplines in peopling his plays with figures from the cultural heritage of ancient Greece.
