Thespis is not a character in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Thespis is the world's first known actor. He lived in ancient Greece during the sixth (6th) century B.C.E. The play "Antigone" was not written until the following, fifth (5th) century B.C.E. It is one of only seven surviving plays by the ancient Greek dramatist Sophocles. It is guesstimated to have been written around 442 B.C.E.
