No, Antigone does not learn from Oedipus in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban King Oedipus is reckless, spontaneous and violent in his emotional outbursts. He cares everything about making himself heard and nothing about hearing other opinions. Likewise, Princess Antigone cares nothing about respect King Creon, her uncle and future father-in-law, and everything about proclaiming her disobedience of his law and disdain for him as Thebes' ruler.
