Read the full account

Loeb and grammar-school Sophocles made two plays a class marker.

Context

Medium confidence on unique wage coefficients.

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

A school canon is not a 441 choregic win.
