Biographical History

Roger Lancelyn Green (1918-1987) was a British author. A graduate of Oxford University, he was also a member of The Inklings, an Oxford literary discussion group whose other members included C. S. Lewis (with whom Green was close friends) and J. R. R. Tolkien.

Sophocles was a Greek playwright who lived during the 5th century B.C. Few of his works have survived in their entirety; the most notable are Oedipus Rex and Antigone. Fragments of more than a hundred other works have survived, including Clytemnestra, Cerberus, Herakles Epi Tainaro, and Ichneutae (a "satyr play," similar to bawdy or burlesque theatre)
