Best Answer

Sophocles wrote the play "Antigone."

Specifically, ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. -- 405 B.C.E.) is thought to have written over 120 plays. Only a handful survive, of which "Antigone" is one. There is not much of a paper trail for the playwright and his works, but the play is guesstimated to have been written by 442 B.C.E.

Which play comes after 'Antigone'?

No surviving or known play by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) comes after "Antigone" in terms of plot and characters, but "Oedipus at Colonus" comes after in terms of suspected date of writing and performance.Specifically, the story of Theban King Oedipus and his children is told in chronological order by the sequencing of "Oedipus Rex," then "Oedipus at Colonus" and finally "Antigone." But that is not the order of earliest to latest suspected date of writing and performance. "Antigone" is thought to have been written around 442 B.C.E. "Oedipus Rex" is suspected of having been written around 430 B.C.E. since its first known performance was at the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens, Greece in 429 B.C.E. "Oedipus at Colonus" is guesstimated as having been written just before the playwright's death since its performance was posthumous, in 401 B.C.E.
