Read the full account
Harvard’s Sophocles volumes are a completed industrial-cultural product. The dated start is the 1912-era Loeb. He did not run a press.
Context
Split school-gate inequality. This stores the edition-factory.
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.
