Sophocles Sophocles (497 - 406 BCE) was one of three great Greek tragic poets. He came from wealth, and moved easily in society. Over his productive life of over sixty years he wrote over 123 plays, of which only seven remain. BCE The historian Athenaios reported that Sophocles loved boys like Euripides loved women. The poet Ion of Chios relates: His neighbour, who was a schoolmaster of Eretria answered him: You are doubtless a sage poet, Sophocles, but Phrynichos did not express himself well in calling the cheeks of a beautiful boy purple, because, if a Persian had painted them with purple colour, the boy would appear no longer beautiful. Therefore one must not compare the beautiful to the obviously not beautiful. Sophocles laughed and said: So you also won t like the verse of Simonides that the Greeks appreciate so much: From purple lips the girl let flow her voice, and what the poet says of Apollo s golden hair, because, if a painter had painted the god s hair golden instead of black, the painting would be worse. Likewise the poetic

home index ancient Greece Sophocles Sophocles (Musei Capitolini, Roma) Sophocles (497-406): Athenian poet, author of many tragedies, of which seven survive. Sophocles is the second of the three great Athenian tragic poets, and the one with whose plays we are most familiar: the names of Ajax Antigone , and Oedipus are well-known. Of his 118 plays, however, only seven remain, in which people are confronted with extremely difficult situations. His other plays are Philoctetes Trachinian women Electra , and Oedipus in Colonnus (posthumously produced by his grandson, who was also called Sophocles). It is said that to express his ideas, he had to change the way tragedies were played, by adding a third (and once even a fourth) actor, and enlarging the chorus. Sophocles was also active in Athenian politics. In 441/440, 428, and 423/422 he served as army commander, and after the defeat at Sicily , he was given special responsibilities to lead Athens out of this crisis (413). The playwright was a personal friend of Pericles and Herodotus of Halicarnassus After his death, Sophocles received heroic honors, and it was said that he had once charmed the winds when they were blowing unseasonably.

24. Sophocles' Antigone Learn about sophocles Antigone using this exceptional online study guide with links to multiple resources on CTCWeb including the Global Glossary. http://ablemedia.com/ctcweb/netshots/antigone.htm

Table of Contents Euripides' Medea Antigone Production The setting of the Antigone , as in the case of most Greek tragedies, does not require a change of scene. Throughout the play the skene with at least one door represents the facade of the royal palace of Thebes. Even when the poet shifts the audience's attention to events in the plain and the cave in which Antigone was entombed, there is no shift of scene. These events are reported by minor characters (here, a guard and a character specifically called a messenger) rather than enacted before the audience (245-277;1192-1243). Interior action is also reported by a messenger to characters on-stage for the benefit of the audience. The suicide of Eurydice, which takes place inside the palace, is reported to Creon (and to the audience) by a second messenger (1279-1318). The messenger speech eliminates the need for scene changes, which, due to the limited resources of the ancient theater, would have been difficult and awkward. Sophocles , like Aeschylus and Euripides , made a virtue of the necessity of this convention of the ancient theater by writing elaborate messenger speeches which provide a vivid word picture of the offstage action.

25. Sophocles - Crystalinks sophocles (early 5th century BCE 406 BCE) was an ancient Greek playwright, dramatist, priest, and politician of Athens. http://www.crystalinks.com/sophocles.html

Sophocles (early 5th century BCE - 406 BCE) was an ancient Greek playwright, dramatist, priest, and politician of Athens. He was also a general for the Athenian Empire in the Peloponnesian Wars, and during his service he led the battle against the Peloponnesian Island of Samos. He is sometimes known as the Attic Bee for the "sweetness of his productions." Sophocles is the second, chronologically, of the three great Greek tragedians; he was several decades younger than Aeschylus and a decade or so older than Euripides, and was often in competition with both in dramatic contests. The year of his birth is contested, with 488 BCE, 495 BCE, and 496 BCE each having advocates. 495 BCE however is preferred by most eminent historians. He is most noted for his prolific playwriting. He wrote 123 plays; in the dramatic competitions of the Festival of Dionysus (where each submission by one author consisted of four plays), he won more first prizes (around 20) than any other playwright, and there is no record of his ever having ranked below second place. Many scholars, including Aristotle, considered Sophocles to be the greatest playwright in ancient Greek theatre. However, of the hundreds of works he produced in his lifetime, only seven tragedies survive in their complete forms, along with around half of a satire play.

30. Study Guide For Sophocles' Antigone Etext with introduction and extensive annotations; by Robin MitchellBoyask at Temple University. http://www.temple.edu/classics/antigone.html

Study Guide for Sophocles' Antigone by Robin Mitchell-Boyask, Associate Professor of Classics, Temple University There is an on-line text with hyperlinks to a wide range of information. As with all web pages, underlined passages indicate hyperlinks to further information. This guide is keyed to the translation by Robert Fagles (Penguin Press). Setting The drama begins at dawn, after a night in which there has been a war in Thebes between armies led by the two sons of Oedipus. Keep in mind that the Greek theater was in the open air, and that the first performances of the day would begin at daybreak. Thu s, imagine that the time of day of the setting would be identical to the performance time. As you read the first scene, consider the gravity of the city's condition and how aware Antigone seems of it. Throughout the play, Antigone and Creon will talk much about friends and enemies. Think about what each means by these terms. In general, Antigone and Creon tend to use the same words but mean different things by them. For example, consider Antigone's re ference to being a "traitor" (57). This is a political term; does Antigone mean a traitor to the city, or to something else? Compare with Creon at 580. Why does Antigone assume that Creon's order is directed against her and Ismene? When Creon appears later, consider whether his conduct and language in fact supports her assumption.

34. Enjoying "Oedipus The King" By Sophocles An overview of the legend, the play, and major themes of Oedipus Rex by Ed Friedlander. http://www.pathguy.com/oedipus.htm

Enjoying "Oedipus the King", by Sophocles Ed Friedlander MD erf@kcumb.edu If you are a student assigned to read "Oedipus the King", and perhaps also to comment on Aristotle's ideas about tragedy and "tragic flaws", this site will help you get started. Warning: This is NOT a "family" site, and Sophocles is NOT "family entertainment". "Oedipus the King" is a monument to Sophocles's dramatic genius, and to the freedom of Athenian thought. It develops a shocking, profoundly immoral idea about a human being's ultimate relationship to the universe. Thankfully, there is no reason to think that Sophocles's idea is true, or that Sophocles really believed it. Commentators on Sophocles, beginning with Aristotle, have tried to cover over the obvious. This explains the nonsense about "tragic flaws" and "hybris". If you want something nice, please leave now What's here? 1. The Folk Tale 2. Predestination 3. Sophocles 4. Aristotle ... 5. Today 1. The Folk Tale We don't know whether there was a historical Oedipus. "Oedipus" means "swollen feet". The Greeks pronounced it "oy-DEEP-us". Oed- is the same root as "oedema / edema" (tissue swelling; the British preserve the initial "o"), while "-pus" is feet (hence "octopus", the eight-footed animal.) Laius and Jocasta were king and queen of Thebes, a town in Greece. One day, they had a baby boy. An oracle prophesied that the boy would grow up and kill his father and marry his mother. To thwart the prophecy, Laius and Jocasta decided to kill their baby. In those days, it was usual to leave an unwanted or defective baby in the wilderness. Laius and Jocasta did this. To be extra-sure, they pierced his little feet and tied them together. (Don't worry about this detail, which makes no sense. It must have been introduced to explain the hero's name.)

PlaceMenu("mainmenu") Inaugural Meeting: Southern Ocean Physical Oceanography and Cryosphere Linkages (SOPHOCLES) Bergen, Norway, 25-26 August 2007 The Working Group on Southern Ocean Physical Oceanography and Cryosphere Linkages (SOPHOCLES) is sponsored by the WCRP/SCAR Climate and Cryosphere project. Its focus is on understanding how well the current generation of models represent the interaction between the cryosphere and the Southern Ocean. The inaugural meeting will be held in Bergen, Norway August 25-26, prior to the Polar Dynamics meeting. Anyone with an interest in this topic is invited to attend. The WorkShop co-chairs are Siobhan O'Farrell, CSIRO, Aspendale, Australia and Ilana Wainer (wainer@usp.br), University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Please register here , or send an email to Siobhan.O'Farrell@csiro.au if you plan to attend. For more information, download the SOPHOCLES poster (6330KB) The group's first aim is to verify models against the latest available observations and use the observations to constrain the choice of parameterizations used by different groups. Many Cryospheric interactions are not represented in current global climate models and need different parameters to better represent the properties of Southern ocean sea ice. The project aims to develop new parameterizations of these cryospheric processes for use in global models or directly include these processes in regional focussed studies. The project's main investigative questions are:-

Its members were to speak only classical Greek to each other; anyone who failed to do so would be fined until enough had been collected for a party, at which time the Academicians would "entertain [themselves] grandly and not in the style reserved for the printers, but in a fashion worthy of men who are already dreaming of the [New Academy]."
