Modern lives print a 440s generalship as received, not as a staff diary

Low confidence on unique campaign harm; stored as received office in a war, not as a recovered log. In the causal graph this event weakens Humanitarian Access, a driver that strengthens People Internally Displaced by Conflict and Violence (IDMC) — an improving welfare path.

Read the full account

The dated public carrier is that modern life. Low confidence on unique campaign harm; stored as received office in a war, not as a recovered log.

Context

A poet-general as later told is not a unique body count. Modest path.

Sophocles is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

Printed generalship is not a 440 BCE ISO commission file.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

    Transmitted plays under his name plus later editors, actors, or states. Complex, not an autograph of 441.

What changed

Fact → Driver → Indicator. Relationship strength orders the paths; it is not the observed indicator movement.

What the sources establish

Britannica and Loeb lives print Sophocles as a general in the Samian war as received.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here. Confidence is stated on the impact path.
