Modern Loeb lives state that the ancient vita is late and thin

Read the full account
Loeb introductions and Britannica warn that later vitae, not a household register, are the biography. High confidence on the gap. Pushkin marble is a later portrait type, not a photograph from life.
Context
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.
