Despre autor
Sofocle a fost un poet tragic grec. Împreună cu Eschil și Euripide a pus bazele tragediei clasice grecești. A adus însemnate inovații în tehnica teatrală: renunțarea la conexiunea trilogiei prin crearea de piese independente, mărirea numărului coreilor de la 12 la 15, introducerea celui de-al treilea actor, dezvoltarea dialogului, importanța acordată decorului și costumelor.
