Hullo, Raddy, hope your summer is going well!
Can't help (yet--will keep poking around) with Sophocles--but has he read Padraic Colum's The Children's Homer? V. good. Also Rosemary Sutcliff's Wanderings of Odysseus and Black Ships before Troy? And Naxos has several recordings of myths.
I remember a mystery story (I think Amanda Cross--The Theban Mystery?) about some girls' school where they were reading the Antigone--but I don't remember it well enough to know if it would be appropriate at all.
We have a (very short) picture book about Diogenes that we got from the Getty in LA.
Not very good suggestions, I'm afraid. And awfully random.
The American Classical League catalogue might have some things?
I will put my thinking toque on.

Oh, and of course there's always music--Stravinsky's Oedipus Rex, for instance.
