Yes, there are strophes in "Antigone" by Oedipus Rex (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the strophes signal the transition from prologue to parados, from parados to scene 1, from scene 1 to 2 and so forth. Each strophe has a different point to make. For example, the first strophe ironically criticizes Polyneices for attacking his own hometown in defense of his legitimate claim to the Theban crown and throne.
