Twenty scholars examine aspects of our evidence for the work of Sophocles that survive only in fragmentary form - over a hundred tragedies and satyr-dramas, besides other poetry. The more they explore the skanty shards that are left to us from the great majority of the works of the poet of Kolonos, the less likely it comes to seem that the seven extant tragedies are all typical of his output; there emerges a Sophocles who is much more like Euripides than we have been accustomed to imagine.
