It is by having one time, place and action that the three unities are followed in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, the action needs to present and solve one problem regarding the main character. The place must be the same for all onstage action even though previous and offstage places may be introduced through the commentary of the chorus, the conversations of the characters or the pronouncements of messengers or servants. The time has to be within one day.

Time, place and action are the three unities in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the time takes place within one 24-hour period. The place for all onstage action is before the main entrance to the Theban royal palace. The action involves the presentation and solution of one problem regarding the main character: What is the identity of the guilty in the unsolved murder of Theban King Laius?
"Rex" is Latin for "King". Oedipus Rex means "Oedipus the King".

The Comedy of Errors is one of only two of Shakespeare's plays which obey the three unities of classical dramatic theory: unity of time, place and action. Well, it obeys the first two anyway, since the action is actually not as unified as it is in such plays as Oedipus Rex or Racine's Phaedre. To Shakespeare, a play without subplots is a play not worth watching.
The shepherd in Oedipus Rex is the person who rescues Oedipus Rex as a child. The shepherd also confirms the main character's fate.
"Oedipus at Colonus" is the sequel to "Oedipus Rex."Specifically, the story of Theban King Oedipus and his family is told in the course of three plays by Sophocles (496 B.C.E. - 406 B.C.E.). The first play is "Oedipus Rex," which explains why Oedipus loses his sight and his claim to the Theban throne. The second play is "Oedipus of Colonus," which tells of Oedipus' life in exile from Thebes and his death at Colonus, which was where the playwright Sophocles was from. The third play is "Antigone," which tells of what happens to three out of Oedipus' four children with his wife and mother, Theban Queen Jocasta.
