		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.
