 Culture of Iran: Old Iranian Calendars

 Antigone Summary by Sophocles
Born around 495 B.C. in the very same Colonus region seen in Oedipus at Colonus, part of the ancient Greek city-state of Athens, Sophocles began writing early on in life.
After achieving his celebrity status in 468, success would follow Sophocles for the next twenty years until he would be beaten at the Athenian drama contest in 441 B.C. by the third and last great Athenian playwright, Euripides.
He died in 405 BC, shortly before this period of greatness would be brought to a nightmarish end with the defeat of Athens in the Peloponnesian War, creating a great historical tragedy that Sophocles did not live long enough to write.
