Sophocks was an ancient Greek poet and one of the three ancient Greek invaders who survived. His performances were for a time after Aeschylus and before Euripides. Based on the information provided by Suda, a 10th-century encyclopedia, Sopho Sopho has recorded 123 plays during his lifetime, with only seven survivors. These games are Ajax, Antigone, Trachinian Women, Oedipus the King, Electra, Philoctetes and Oedipus in Colonus. He is believed to have become the most famous athlete in Athens' most impressive competitions held during the religious festivals of Lenaea and Dionysia. The Sophoances took part in 30 tournaments, of which 24 won and never topped the other two. Among his games, the two most famous catastrophes, Oedipus and Antigone are commonly known as Thebes play, although each game was part of a different set of rules. Muscles strongly influenced the drama. His main impact was the addition of a third player who reduced the value of the call to the introduction of the building. The friction on Mercury's face is behind this Greek poem and play.
