I believe the quotation you provided should say "best" instead of "test" as there is a famous quotation by Thomas Tusser that reads as follows: "Seek home for rest, for home is best." This quotation could mean many things to many people. One possible meaning/interpretation of this quotation is that people often find comfort at home, and for the optimal rest, the prime place that should be sought is where one dwells or the house within which one grew up.
Sophocles is the creator of the Odipeus Rex! It is his greatest work, and he only has seven plays that exist today!
Sweet, what's the question though??
