About Sophocles
Sophocles was an ancient Greek tragedian of the fifth century BCE. He wrote over a hundred plays, though only seven survive, including *Oedipus Rex*, which explores themes of fate, human suffering, and moral complexity. His works established him as a master of dramatic structure and psychological depth.
