Probably some forty years before the action of the playis the general time period of Oedipus' birth in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, no precise information as to dates and ages is given in the play. But Theban King Oedipus is old enough to have two grown sons so he most likely is in his forties. Additionally, it is possible to guesstimate his lifespan as possibly straddling the thirteenth to twelfth (13th-12th) centuries B.C.E. That calculation is based on Oedipus' grandson Thersander as living at the time of the Trojan War, which may be dated to the twelfth century B.C.E.
