No, Aeschylus did not write a play called "Oedipus Rex."
Specifically, Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) was an ancient Greek playwright and the play's author. Aeschylus (525/524 B.C.E. - 455/456 B.C.E.) also wrote about Thebes, but in terms of Theban King Oedipus' contentious children. His play, "Seven Against Thebes," covers what happens between the death of Oedipus in "Oedipus at Colonus" and the referenced deaths of his sons Eteocles and Polyneices in "Antigone."
