Best Answer

Sophocles was the most poetic play writer in his days. He was also skilfull about building a scene (makes you forget what the next scene will be even if you know what will happen). Another answer:

Tragedies: Aeschylus (c. 525-456 BC): Phrynichus (~511 BC): Sophocles (c. 495-406 BC): Euripides (c. 480-406 BC):

Comedies: Aristophanes (c. 446-388 BC) Menander (c. 342-291 BE)
