I only know one and that is that he wrote 100 plays and only 7 survived..
Only seven out of the over 120 works written by Sophocles have survived, which is approximately 5-6% of his total works. This small percentage is largely due to the loss of ancient texts over time.

Sophocles was an ancient Greek playwright whose works are still studied today. His most famous work is Oedipus. During the course of his life, he wrote some 123 plays, but only seven survived. He was born around 497 BCE and died 406 BCE at the age of 90.
"Ajax," "Antigone," "Electra," "Oedipus the King," "Oedipus at Colonus," "Philoctetes," and "Trachinian Women" are tragic plays by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, it is thought that Sophocles may have written as many as 123 plays. But only seven (7) have been found in complete form. Three of the surviving plays - "Antigone," "Oedipus the King" and "Oedipus at Colonus" - deal with the family of disgraced Theban King Oedipus. The remaining four are connected with famous participants in the Trojan War.
