All the ones I can think of fall into that camp. But then, since I wouldn't have noticed any that didn't, that would have to be true, wouldn't it? More importantly, however, I can think of enough "As Sophocles put it" allusions that we would have a viable list using only those.

Actually, it would be an interesting exercise to see how extensively ancient Greek writing has affected modern English. Of course, we wouldn't claim an allusion every time HT used words like "panic" or "narcissist" or "plutocracy" (though I guess that last one would be a Roman allusion, wouldn't it?).
