What is Sophocles’ most famous play?

  1. The Bacchae

  2. Oedipus Rex

  3. Prometheus Unbound

  4. Antigone

The correct answer is: Oedipus Rex

Sophocles is one of the most well-known and celebrated playwrights in ancient Greece. His most famous and widely revered work is the tragedy Oedipus Rex, which tells the story of a king who unknowingly fulfills a prophecy by killing his own father and marrying his mother. The other options listed are also plays written by Sophocles, but they are not considered his most famous work. The Bacchae and Prometheus Unbound are actually written by the playwright Euripides. While Antigone is another famous tragedy written by Sophocles, it is not as commonly known or celebrated as Oedipus Rex. Therefore, B Oedipus Rex is the most accurate answer as it is widely recognized as Sophocles' most famous play.
