	Sophocles Bio: The Online Library of Liberty
		Perhaps the greatest of Athens's three best playwrights--Aeschylus and Euripedes being the other two--Sophocles is known to have written at least 123 dramas, of which only 7 survive.
		Sophocles was born in 496 B.C. in Colonus, near Athens; he died in Athens in 406 B.C. Although the information that remains about his life is scanty at best, all accounts seem to agree that he was a gracious, dignified, and well-loved citizen who moved in good society and enjoyed life's pleasures.
		Although Sophocles is lauded as a master of his literary realm, some have criticized his work for lacking major philosophical considerations.
