Yes, Oedipus is a learning figure in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, a learning figure is a character who travels along a knowledge curve from ignorance or misunderstanding to knowledge. The description fits Theban King Oedipus. Oedipus ends up abandoning a mistaken self-image for discovering his true identity as the child of Theban monarchs Laius and Jocasta, the killer of his father and the spouse of his own mother.
