Summary/Abstract: Our research is focused on a literary critical “dissection” applied to the typologies of characters in Sofocle’s literary work: Philoctet, Antigona and Oedip – as they are analysed by Zoe Dumitrescu-Buşulenga in the study Sofocle And The Human Condition (Bucharest, Albatros Publishing House, 1974). The main idea of the paper is, in fact, the perception of the human condition from a tragic vision on life which is configured according to Greek imperatives such as: all things in good measure (pan metron ariston) and the art of kalokagathia and Greek paideia.
