| | S. H. Taqizadeh: Old Iranian Calendars |
 | | It is also generally believed that, in adopting the Egyptian vague year, the Iranians changed the year's beginning from the season corresponding at that time to the Egyptian New Year (December) to the vernal equinox. | | | The Egyptian calendar with its vague year, as we know it, is supposed, according to the latest conjecture, to have been adopted in the same century when Sirius's heliacal rising fell on the 1st Toth. | | | The history and development of the Iranian calendar may be recapitulated according to the theory laid down in this article as follows: -- |

| | Euripides |
| | There is no reason or historical evidence to believe that he travelled to Syracuse, Sicily or engaged himself in any other public or political activities during his lifetime, or left Athens at the invitation of king Archelaus II and stayed with him in Macedonia after 408 BC. | | | Although there is a story that he left Athens embittered because of his defeats, there is no real evidence to support it. | | | The Bacchae was performed after his death in 405 BC. |

| | Antigone Summary by Sophocles |
| | The story of how a proper city should be ruled is the legacy that Sophocles has left for the people of Athens after writing Antigone. | | | He died in 405 BC, shortly before this period of greatness would be brought to a nightmarish end with the defeat of Athens in the Peloponnesian War, creating a great historical tragedy that Sophocles did not live long enough to write. | | | Euripedes would reign supreme until his death in 406, a year before that of Sophocles. |

| | Ancient Drama |
| | His seven surviving plays, three of which constitute the only extant trilogy, the Oresteia (458 BC), are richly ambiguous inquiries into the paradoxical relationship between man and the cosmos, in which men are made answerable for their acts, yet recognize that these acts are determined by the gods. | | | Euripides' Cyclops (c.423 BC) is the only complete example of this organized horseplay to have survived. | | | Sophocles raised the number of actors to three (an innovation soon adopted by Aeschylus) and concerned himself more with the conflicts among mortals, although in his plays the hands of the gods are never far from the scene. |

| | In 442 BC he served as an imperial treasurer; by the time of his middle age he seems to have been on easy terms with the political leaders of the day. | | | Aristophanes, the comic poet who was later to mount a conservative backlash against the democratic extremists, was still a young man. So too was Thucydides, the historian who was to chart the disastrous end of Athens' imperial ambitions. | | | By the time that Alexander the Great and his successors took over Greece there were still more than one-hundred-and-twenty plays by Sophocles available for editing by the skilled librarians of Alexandria. |
