![The picture says "To form the possessive of any singular proper noun, add an apostrophe and an S. For example, Venus's beauty Dickens's reputation

But I saw somewhere, Aeschylus' Sophocles' There is no S after apostrophe. Which one is correct?] (https://i.stack.imgur.com/n0db3.jpg)

Not all possessive forms have "'s". For example, "my" and "your" lack both the apostrophe and the "s". Here are some articles that may help. – Lawrence Mar 22 '17 at 12:49

When a word ends in s, it is up to the writer or editor to use an apostrophe s or just an apostrophe. Both are fine. – Lambie Mar 22 '17 at 12:56
