a tragedy worthy of Sophocles - Sophocles of Attica (ca. 497 BC–ca. 405 BC) was a Greek tragedian, one of only three a handful of whose works have survived to the modern day. He is believed to have invented the theatrical concept of scenery, as well as the dramatic technique of breaking the action up into scenes. Sophoclean tragedies revolve around a strong sense of fatalism, the characters being caught up in events beyond their control (or even, sometimes, their understanding).

His plays are notable for their character development and a reduced reliance on the chorus to explain what's going on; the most famous surviving one is Oedipus Tyrannus (also known as Oedipus Rex), a retelling of the legend of Oedipus (the Greek king who unwittingly murders his father and marries his mother, from which the modern psychological concept of the Oedipus complex takes its name).

the job of replacing Meiev - Remilia's previous lady's-maid, who resigned to get married, as female domestic servants generally did in that era. "Meiev" is an Alsatian nickname for women named Marie-Eva.
