Question

name the famous Greek writers and their writings.

Answer 1

Hint: A Greek or Hellenes is a people of Greece, Cyprus, Albania, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, and other countries around the Mediterranean (smaller place). They also constitute important diasporas, establishing Greek communities all over the world.

Complete Answer:
1. Sophocles is one of the three tragedies of ancient Greece whose plays are still in existence. His first works were written later or in accordance with Aeschylus' works; and earlier or contemporaries with Euripides. Among Sophocles' most famous tragedies are Oedipus and Antigone: they are usually referred to as Theban plays, although each is part of a different tetralogy (another now missing member). Sophocles influenced the development of drama, mostly through the addition of a third actor (attributed to Sophocles of Aristotle; Aeschylus of Themistocles).
2. Euripides was a tragedy from classical Athens. Together with Aeschylus and Sophocles, he was one of the three tragedies of ancient Greece whose plays have survived. Some ancient scholars attribute ninety-five passages to it, but courts say it is ninety-two at most.
3. Herodotus is an ancient Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus in the Persian Empire. He is best known for writing Stories, a detailed account of his "investigation" into the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars.

Note: First Greek writer: Aeschylus is generally considered to be the first of the great Greek playwrights and in the 5th century BCE and basically invented what we consider drama, (which changed western literature forever) with the introduction of dialogue and character interaction into playwriting.
