Sophocles (/ˈsɒfəkliːz/;[1] Greek: Σοφοκλῆς, Sophoklēs, Ancient Greek: [so.pʰo.klɛ̂ːs]; c. 497/6 – winter 406/5 BC)[2] is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus, and earlier than or contemporary with those of Euripides. According to the Suda, a 10th-century encyclopedia, Sophocles wrote 123 plays during the course of his life, but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, The Women of Trachis, Oedipus the King, Electra, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus.[3] For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most-fêted playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens that took place during the religious festivals of the Lenaea and the Dionysia. He competed in around 30 competitions, won perhaps 24, and was never judged lower than second place. Aeschylus won 14 competitions, and was sometimes defeated by Sophocles, while Euripides won only 4 competitions.[4 [mehr]

Aeschylus won 14 competitions, and was sometimes defeated by Sophocles, while Euripides won only 4 competitions.[4] The most famous tragedies of Sophocles feature Oedipus and also Antigone: they are generally known as the Theban plays, although each play was actually a part of a different tetralogy, the other members of which are now lost. Sophocles influenced the development of the drama, most importantly by adding a third actor, thereby reducing the importance of the chorus in the presentation of the plot. He also developed his characters to a greater extent than earlier playwrights such as Aeschylus.[5] [mehr]

Still, leise und melancholisch - bisweilen abgründig düster, ja verloren - nähern sich diese Gedichte auf fast samtenem Pfad, Katzenpfotengleich, mit einer inneren Ruhe, ja Abgeklärtheit, welche der zeitgenössischen Lyrik der Moderne längst abhanden gekommen ist. Auf den ersten Blick erscheinen die Verse altbacken, konventionell durch den Reim unprätentiös. Doch lässt man sie auf sich einwirken, verliert der Grundton seine Erdschwere, die latente wie offene Resignation und Verlorenheit löst sich auf und erhebt sich elementar ins Poetische, mittels Ontologie und Natur: die Befreiung und Rettung des Dichters durch das Gedicht, welches am Ende den Scherz nicht vergisst. (H.T.M.) "Lyrik von getragener Schönheit und durchdrungener Schwermut." avis "Gefühle, wunderbar umgesetzt, sehr schön!" LG Sternschnuppe [mehr]

Various, or Various Production, is an English dubstep/electronic music duo formed in 2002. The group blends samples, acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and singing from a revolving cast of vocalists. Its members, Adam and Ian, purposefully give very little information about the group or themselves, and tend to do little in the way of self-promotion.[1] Nevertheless, the group began winning critical acclaim with its single releases in 2005 and 2006, with singers Rachel Thomas Davies and Nicola Kearey.[2] Their full-length for XL, The World is Gone, arrived in July 2006.[3][4][5][6][7] They have released a large number of vinyl EPs and 7" records, as well as digital exclusives for Rough Trade, iTunes, and Boomkat.[8] They have released remixes of a large variety of artists (sometimes uncredited) such as Thom Yorke, Adele, Virus Syndicate, Dave Cloud, Cat Power, Emma Pollock and Ian Brown and participated with one track on the Vexille Movie Soundtrack.
