<< Unit 2 : Sophocles >>
   

Unit 2 is devoted to Sophocles (496–406 BCE), the most successful of the three tragedians in his lifetime. Regarded even in antiquity as the most "classical" playwrights, Sophocles is remembered for large themes such as honor and fate.

In this unit the Stagings exercises continue, and students begin to conceptualize the Semester project.
