Iophon, the son of Sophocles, produced about fifty plays, though some of them--we know not exactly which or how many--were written in collaboration with his father. He won the second prize in a competition in which Euripides was first. The grandson and namesake of Sophocles was seven times victorious, reproducing also his grandsire's Oedipus at Colonus, which his father, Ariston, first brought out.
