Abstract
Sophocles is remembered as one of the greatest poets and playwrights in history. Allegedly the author of over one hundred tragedies, only seven survive to this day. While much has been written and said about his life and literary production, the events characterizing his final years are still nebulous and abundant with anecdotes of rather dubious trustworthiness. One of these is about his being sued by his own son Iophon because he was apparently no longer capable of managing the family fortune due to a supposed dementia.
