Book Synopsis Sophocles: Fragments by : Sophocles
Book excerpt: Sophocles (497/6-406 BC), considered one of the world's greatest poets, forged tragedy from the heroic excess of myth and legend. Seven complete plays are extant, including Oedipus Tyrannus, Ajax, Antigone, and Philoctetes. Among many fragments that also survive is a substantial portion of the satyr play The Searchers.
