Sophocles was born in 496 BC at Colonus village near Athens, Greece. He grew up in a wealthy family, whose father was a manufacturer of armour. He received well-rounded education, from poetry, music, dancing, to gymnastics. His wealthy and educational background prepared him to be a leader in many aspects of public life.
