Sophocles is three or four hundred years ago BC, cave man thinking, right?
Cave mannish thoughts mean they aren't modern. A lot like most big
restaurant and hospitality chains seem to think that the favorite
foods don't include mango, tamarind, guava or papaya. For some
reason.

Actually, Sophocles wasn't a philosopher, he was a playwright and for
almost 50 years he was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic
competitions of the city-state of Athens.

One of his more erudite quotes is: "Hide nothing, for time, which sees
all and hears all, exposes all."

Sophocles was a major critic of the first democracy (in Athens Greece). I guess that philosophy is only a "sometimes" state-of-mind.
